TO  THE  AMEKICAN  BUSINESS  MAN,

Hud  iii(lefatisal>le  energ;y,  I  respectfully  dedicate  this  volume. 


Preface. 


Vndoiihtedhi  the  rearjrr  ift  fnmUUtr  irifh  the  fact  that  there 
exists  a  surprisingly  Jorge  number  of  hooks  on  the  subject  of 
foreign  trade  tchich  devote  three-fourths  of  their  space  to  use- 
less generalities  and  the  giving  of  advice  on  the  subject,  of  such 
a  character  as  the  business  man,, who  uses  sound  judgment,  does 
not  need,  and  wJiich,  for  anyone  not  gifted  with  common  sense, 
is  useless. 

Time  and  again  the  author  has  seen  booJcs  on  the  subject,  of 
500  to  !^00  pages,  which  give  no  more  of  basic,  fundamental, 
necessary  information  than  could  have  been  rendered  in  one- 
third  of  the  same  space. 

Realizing  the  importance  of  saving  to  the  business  man 
time  and  brnin-poirer  by  not  wasting  his  time  and  energy  by  a 
lot  of  useless  data  and  generalities,  the  author  has  prepared  the 
present  volume  on  Cuba,  its  trade  and  how  to  cater  to- and  se- 
cure it,  with  the  aim  in  r>iew  "not  of  hoir  much  (useless)  infor- 
mation the  book  furnishes",  but  rather,  "'hou-'  much  (useless)  in- 
formation is  cut  out".  It  is  unnecessary  to  dwell  upon  the  impor- 
tance of  Cuban  trade,  and  upon  the  manj/  factors  favoring  the 
conquest  of  that  trade  bi/  the  ZhiHed  States.  These  facts  are 
too  irell  known  to  the  progressive  business  man  to  be  worthy  of 
repetition. 

Neither  is  it  necessary  to  point  out  snecial  rrays  and  means 
of  how  to  get  the  trade.  The  principles  of  salesmanship  are, 
after  all,  the  same  the  wide  world  over,  and  it  is  ridiculous  and 
and  insult  to  the  readers  intelligence  for  anyone  to  attempt  to 
lay  down  hard  and  fast  rules,  and  point  out  never-failing  ways 
and  means  of  successfully  carrying  on^  sales  campaign  in  a  par- 
ticular line,  in  (^nba,  or  any  other  countvy.  The  manufacturer 
knows  more  about  his  business  than  an  outsider,  and  the  same 
methods  which  have  won  a  market  for  his  goodie  in  his  own  coun- 
try will,  naturally,  furnish  the  key  to  the  situation  in  the  export 
problem,  anything  to  the  contrary  u'vitten  or  said  hi/  theorists

Characteristics  0/ Country  and  People. 


-••O'*- 


N  ORDER  to  arrive  at  an  accurate  conception  of  the  most  im- 
portant characteristics  of  the  Island  of  Cuba  and  the  Cuban 
people,  it  is  necessary  and  indispensable  to  keep  in  mind  its  geo- 
graphical location,  as  an  Island,  as  well  as  its  social,  political, 
economical  and  religious  development  during  the  Spanish  reign;  only  then  can 
we  form  an  idea  of  the  rank  of  Cuba  in  the  concert  of  the  nations  of  the  world, 
and  of  the  idiosyncrasies  of  the  Cuban  people. 

Surrounded  by  the  Avaters  of  the  Atbjntic,  and  sjtuated  in  front  of  the 
Panama  Canal,  so  that  it  can,  to  a  certain  extent,  be  considered  the  key  to  the 
Canal,  and,  therefore,  to  the  two  Americas,  Cuba  has  been,  is  and  will  con- 
tinue to  be  a  stopping  place  for  the  steamers  that  ply  between  Europe  and 
Latin  America. 

This  continuous  contact  of  the  son  of  the  Cuban  soil  with  the  foreigner 
has  tended  to  educate  alike  rich  and  poor,  and  this  is  one  of  the  reasons  why 
so  many  of  those  who  speak  from  an  intimate  knowledge  of  the  subject,  re- 
gard the  Cuban,  even  of  the  lower  classes,  as  equal  to,  and  even  superior  to 
the  corresponding  class  of  any  other  Spanish-American  country. 

Another  important  factor  is  the  scarcity  of  Indians,  who  have  almost 
totally  disappeared.  It  is  true  that  to  offset  this,  there  is  the  colored  race,  but 
only  to  an  extent  of  20^^,  and  it  is  a  proven  fact  that  the  intermarriage  of  the 
races  reduces  the  number  of  blacks  surprisingly.  In  order  to  be  able  to  under- 
stand this  phenomenon  of  the  decrease  in  the  number  of  colored  people,  it 
suffices  to  consider  that  during  the  long  years  of  the  Spanish  reign  and  even 
now,  the  Spaniard  who  emigrated  or  emigrates  to  Cuba,  no  matter  of  what  class 
(which  as  it  were,  was  seldom  of  the  best  or  even  middle  class),  found  it  im- 
possible to  connect  himself  with  the  better  or  middle  class  of  the  native  white 
race.  This  is  due  to  the  political  odium  existing  between  the  Spaniard  and 
the  Cuban ;  under  such  circumstances  the  Spaniard  had  to  content  himself  with 
colored  or  mulatto  associates,  and  his  financial  resources  made  it  easy  for  him 
to  dominate  this  race,  either  directly  or  indirectly. 

Upon  comparison  with  the  colored  race  of  other  countries,  even  this 
colored  race  of  Cuba  is  found  to  be  equall)^  superior,  not  only  by  virtue  of  its 
intelligence,  but  also  on  account  of  its  kind  and  noble  sentiments.  Associating 
with  the  Spanish  of  higher  or  lesser  financial  independence,  the  influence  of 

—  8  — 


the  niotlu-r  reflcfts  itself  in  Ikt  desire  to  edneate  her  son  the  same  as  the  sons 
of  Avhite  parents,  with  the  result  that  wlu-n  tin-  child  arrives  at  maturity  and 
realizes  lully  the  eonihination  of  eireunistanees.  whieh  are  responsihle  for  his 
existence  and  his  mixed  parentage,  he  cannot  suppress  in  himself  his  aversion 
for  the  Spanish.  lit-  shares  this  aversion  with  Ihr  while  native,  even  to  the 
extent  of  having  hied  and  fallen  to},'ethtr  in  the  hattles  for  a  Free  C'uha.  For 
this  reason,  we  refer  to  his  kinil  and  nohle  sentiments,  for  there  exists  between 
the  black  and  native  white  population  neither  aversion,  spite  nor  hatred,  for 
they  both  fought  with  the  single  thought  of  establishing  a  common  country. 

The  batth's  which  the  Cuban  native  carried  on  both  as  political  l)attles 
against  the  autocratic  power  of  S])ain,  as  well  as  against  the  armed  forces  of 
the  mother  country,  made  the  Cuban  people  perspicacious,  astute,  audacious, 
valiant  and  possessed  of  endurance. 

Another  fact  which  points  to  tlie  good  characteristics  of  the  Cuban  peoplo 
is  that,  although  for  a  long  time  there  existed  moi-tal  hatred  between  the  Cnl)an 
and  the  Spanish,  this  condition  disapjx'ared  almost  as  soon  as  Cul)an  liberty 
was  wrested  from  Spain,  and  today  the  Spanish  and  Cuban  get  along  with  each 
other  better  than  they  did  during  the  Spanish  reign  of  Cuba.  This  goes  to 
pi-ove  that  Cui)a  has  realized  what  it  means  for  !icr  development  to  not  only 
maintain,  but  increase  the  immigration  of  those  who  speak  the  same  language, 
and  whose  customs,  habits,  and  even  beliefs  are  the  same. 

As  a  religious  people,  the  Cubans  may  be  classitied  as  indifTerent,  which 
fact  may  be  attributed  to  the  abuse  of  religion  as  a  weapon  of  corruption  in 
the  l)attle  against  Spain,  and  it  is  to  be  lamented  that  an  institution  as  sacred 
as  the  Catholic  religion,  should  have  lent  itself  as  an  instrument  in  fighting 
political  battles.  Nevertheless,  the  Cuban  home  is  found  to  be  permeated  with 
a  profound  religious  spirit,  which  privately  practices  the  i)rinciples  of  religion, 
but  shuns  the  public  services  in  church,  in  order  not  to  come  into  contact  with 
the  priest,  whom  it  did  not  trust,  and  considered  as  a  spy,  and,  therefore,  an 
enemy.  Since  the  war  for  liberty,  however,  this  condition  has  been  gradually 
disappearing,  although  a  number  of  years  will  yet  have  to  elapse  before  it  may 
be  expected  to  disappear  totally. 

Looked  at  from  an  economic  viewpoint,  Cuba.  c\-en  as  a  Colony,  was  at  the 
mercy  of  American  tariff's,  and  Si)ain  had  never  exerted  herself  in  finding  new 
markets  for  Cuban  products.  Cuba,  the  independent  nation,  has,  however, 
taken  account  of  the  situation,  and  has  employed  all  available  means  in  an 
effort  to  open  uj)  new  markets,  and  slie  has  now  the  satisfaction  of  seeing  a  nnnh 
larg«'r  volume  of  export  trade  with  other  <ountries  outside  of  the  United  States, 
than  during  the  time  of  her  dependency  from  Spain. 

As  regards  sanitation,  suffice  it  to  say  that  Cuba  today  occupies  second 

—  9  — 


place  among  the  nations  of  the  world,  and  can  be  said  to  have  almost  reached 
the  limit  of  perfection  in  this  regard. 

Even  though  the  tropical  climate  of  Cuba  is  hot,  it  is  worthy  of  notice  that 
the  heat  is  not  felt  as  much,  nor  does  it  atfect  the  individual  as  much  as  the  cli- 
mate of  the  United  States  of  North  America.  Heat  prostrations  are  practically 
unknown ;  neither  does  one  see  the  pitiful  spectacle  of  a  horse  falling  in  the 
street  overcome  by  the  heat.  Spacious  residences,  wide  streets,  the  mode  of 
dressing  and  living,  and  last,  but  not  least,  the  sea  breeze  which  is  felt  espe- 
cially during  the  afternoon,  at  night  and  in  the  morning,  all  contribute  to  re- 
duce the  injurious  effect  of  the  heat  on  the  human  organism.  The  atmosphere 
is  constantly  saturated  with  a  salty  humidity,  which  greatly  affects  everything 
that  is  exposed  to  the  air.  and  it  is  necessary  to  protect  wood,  metals,  etc., 
against  the  deterioration,  which  would  be  caused  by  this  combination  of  salt 
and  humidity  in  the  air. 

The  development  and  process  of  perfection  that  has  taken  place  in  estab- 
lishing means  of  communication  has  greatly  facilitated  traveling  from  one  end 
of  the  Island  to  the  other,  either  by  the  Central  Railway,  which  boasts  of  ac- 
commodations equal  to  those  of  the  railroads  of  the  United  States,  or  by  auto- 
mobile, which  can  travel  in  all  directions  on  splendid  oiled  roads,  or  by 
steamers,  maintaining  a  fixed  schedule,  both  along  the  North  and  South  coast. 

Inasmuch  as  Cuba  has  become  a  winter  resort,  the  authorities  and  private 
enterprises  exert  themselves  to  the  limit  of  their  ability  in  providing  entertain- 
ment of  all  kinds,  in  order  not  only  to  stimulate  local  trade,  but  also  to  attract 
tourists  for  whose  distraction  it  is  necessary  to  arrange  Baseball  Games,  Boxing 
Bouts.  Skating  Rluks,  Horse  Races,  and  other  forms  of  sport  to  which  even 
the  native  has  become  greatly  attached. 

If  w^e  turn  our  attention  to  each  one  of  the  provinces  composing  the  Isle 
of  Cuba,  and  attempt  to  discern  the  particular  characteristics  of  same,  we  ob- 


serve the  following 


PINAll  DEL  RIO: 


The  principal  product  of  this  province  on  which  its  very  life  depends,  is 
tobacco,  and  the  best  tobacco  of  the  Island,  which  has  made  Havana  tobacco 
a  byword  among  smokers  of  the  civilized  world,  is  raised  in  this  Province. 

HAVANA: 

The  importance  of  the  location  of  the  capital  of  the  Island  in  this  province, 
can  be  easily  appreciated.  Due  to  its  size  (Havana  is  the  smallest  province  of 
the  Island),  the  industrial  importance  of  this  province  must  remain  limited; 
some  of  its  industries  have  nevertheless  attained  considerable  importance,  for 
instance,  the  sponge  fisheries,  and  pine  apple  culture.

today  being  exported  to  Europe. 

Ul{  1 1  :mk: 

This  is  one  of  the  most  inti'resting  provinces,  and  the  variety  of  its  prod 
nets,  together  with  its  size,  as  one  of  the  largest  provinces,  iiial\e  it  cxtreuK'ly 
rich. 

The  sugar  industry  of  this  province  is  carried  on  on  a  large  scale,  and  it 
contains  the  largest  sugar  plantation  of  Cuba.  Tobacco  plantations  are  also 
numerous,  and  if  the  tobacco  raised  in  Piiuir  del  Rio  is  without  a  superior,  that 
raised  in  Oriente  goes  hand  in  hand  W'ith  it,  and  whereas  the  color  and  texture 
of  the  tobacco  of  Pinar  del  Kio  make  it  especially  desirable  for  wrappers,  tlie 
aroma  of  the  tobacco  of  Oriente  is  responsible  for  its  being  largely  used  for  the 
body  of  cigars. 

Being  an  extremely  mountainous  province,  Oriente  is  the  home  of  many  of 
the  more  valuable  kinds  of  wood.  A  good  deal  of  mahogany  is  being  exporteii 
from  this  province.  < 

The  province  of  Oriente  is  also  noted  for  its  rieli  mineral  deposits,  and  in 
the  southern  part  of  the  province  we  tind  large  copper  and  numganese  mines 
At  the  time  of  this  writing  newly  discovered  deposits  of  potash  promise  to  add 
to  the  importance  of  this  province. 

la  viov  of  the  foregoing,  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  make  an  exhaustive 
study  of  the  imports  of  Cuba  to  satisfy  the  American  manufacturer  and  dealer 
at  a  glance  that  Cuba  is  a  market  for  practically  everything  tliat  can  be  sold 
advantageously  in  other  countries  similarly  located.  The  experience  of  tJiose 
who  have  devoted  attention  to  the  Cuban  market,  is  sufficient  proof  to  the 
eflect  that  the  Cuban  appreciates  the  nice  things  of  life,  and  that  the  individual 
lives  as  well  as  his  economic  and  social  position  allows.  It  may  be  stated, 
in  conclusion,  that  the  wants  of  the  Cul)an  people  are  nmny,  and  they  are  very 
eager  to  enlarge  the  scope  of  their  wants  to  keep  pace  with  the  rest  of  th» 
civilized  world.

Immigration. 


NOTHEli  of  the  many  noteworthy  facts  to  study  about  the  Island  of 
Cuba  at  present  is  immigration.     In  examining  the  statistics  one 
is  struck  ])y  two  facts,  one  in  regard  to  the  increase  in  number 
of  immigrants  arriving  on  the  Island  of  Cuba,  and  the  other  in 
regard  to  the  variety  of  same. 

It  can  be  said  that  during  the  Spanish  Dominion  there  were  few  other  im- 
migrants to  the  Island  of  Cuba  but  those  from  Spain,  and  in  my  opinion  th;i 
principal  reason  the  immigratioji  did  not  increase  during  that  period  as  it 
should  was  due  to  the  unsanitary  condition  of  the  Island. 

Today  the  Island  of  Cuba  holds  second  place  among  the  nations  of  the 
world  in  regard  to  sanitary  conditions,  and  everyone  is  going  to  the  Island  of 
Cuba  without  any  fear. 

The  following  data  have  been  taken  from  the  information  published  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  Statistic  Division,  corresponding  to  the  "Immigra- 
cion  y  Movimiento  de  Pasajeros",  compiled  by  Mr.  P.  de  la  Torre,  Chief  of 
the  Division, 

I  must  publicly  express  my  gratitude  to  Mr.  P.  de  la  Torre  who  either 
directly  or  indirectly  furnished  me  very  valuable  information. 

"The  immigration  of  this  year  has  exceeded  that  of  the  preceding  year 
by  6,884.  The  total  number  of  arrivals  was  32,795,  against  25,911  in  the  year 
1914.  Of  the  32,795  there  M^ere  26,476  men  and  6.319  women ;  2,275  were  under 
14  years  of  age;  28,930  from  14  to  45  years;  and  1,590  were  over  45  years. 

There  are  24,501  Spaniards;  910  North  Americans;  187  South  Americans; 
2,453  Ilaytians;  1,834  Jamaicans;  714  Mexicans;  840  Porto  Ricans;  72  Central 
Americans;  329  English  and  115  Natives  of  the  Antilles  not  specified.  More- 
over, 840  Syrians,  Russians,  Persians,  Swiss,  Austro-IIungarians,  etc.  have 
arrived,  and  same  are  specified  in  the  table,  without  special  mention,  as  the 
number  is  insignificant. 

Of  the  total  number  of  immigrants  (32,795),  24,258  are  educated,  8,534 
are  analphabets  and  3  knoAV  how  to  read  only.  9,155  have  been  in  Cuba  before, 
Th(^  money  displayed  by  these  immigrants  has  been  about  646,611  pesos 
(dollars). 

In  the  movement  of  travelers  the  same  has  been  noticed  as  in  the  immi- 

—  12  — 


gration,  an  increase  over  the  year  1014.  This  was  10.098  entering  and  2.381 
departing,  resultiiiLr  in  a  diilVrenee  of  7,267  traviders  in  the  increase  of  the 
entries  and  of  the  departures. 

Of  the  70,233  travelers  entering,  53,072  were  men;  17.4r)6  women  and  8.70.') 
children.  The  departure  amounted  to  65,433;  —  44.8;n  men.  14.205  women  and 
6,397  chihlrcn. 

Of  the  arrivals  there  were  29,600  coming  from  Spain  and  the  Canary  Is- 
lands; 36.251  from  tlif  Ignited  States  of  America;  4.511  from  Mexico;  2.400 
from  Haiti;  2,161  from  Central  America;  1,785  from  Jamaica;  and  1,631  from 
Porto  Hieo.  The  balance  of  tlie  79,233  are  divided  ajnon<r  other  countries  in 
limited  luimher. 

Of  tlie  departing  travelers  21.285  left  for  Spain  and  the  Canary  Is- 
lands; 36.588  for  the  United  States;  3,172  for  :Mexico;  1.300  for  Central 
America;  1.234  for  Jamaica  and  the  remainder  of  the  65.433  for  oth'-r 
countries."

TTllK   Islaml  <»f  Onha.  which  un   account   of  its  beauty  ami  ciichaut- 

'         incut,  is  known  as  "La   Ucina  Ar  his  AutiHas"  (Tlic  (juccu  of  the 

'         Antilh's).   and    "La    Pcrla    (h-    his    Autilhis"    (The    Pearl    of   the 

I      AntiUes).    was    discoveicd    hy    ( 'iiristophcr    Cohnnhiis.    the    2Sti- 


day  of  Oetoh(>r,  1492.  In  the  course  of  time  it  has  l»eeu  known  unch-r  several 
names,  haviui;  been  oaUed  "J nana".  "Fernandiua",  "Santiago",  "Ave 
Maria",  and  finally  "Cuba". 

The  widest  part  of  the  Island  is  117  miles,  and  the  uan-owest  is  22  miles 
across. 

There  is  a  Central  "Railway  jroing  from  East  to  West,  \\hiili  has  all  the 
imatjinable  accommodations  of  the  modern  railroads,  that  is.  sleeping  coaches, 
dining  coaches,  etc.,  having  been  inaugurated  the  8th  of  Deeeml)er.  liH)2.  with 
a  daily  service  from  Havana  to  Santiago,  and  its  ti'acks  are  of  standard  gauge. 

The  Island  of  Cuba  is  divided  into  six  Provinces,  antl  we  will  consider 
each  one  of  them  concise]}'. 

PINAR    DEL    RIO. 

This  province  is  called  and  is  known  the  world  over  as  "Vuelta  Abajo", 
and  is  the  casteriuiiost  part  of  the  Island.  This  Province  produces  the  tobacco, 
whicli  lias  made  Cuba  famous,  and  whicli  is  called  "Tabaco  de  Vuelta  Aba.jo". 

It  has  three  of  the  best  bays  of  tiie  Island,  namely,  "Bahia  de  Mariel". 
"Hahia  de  Cabanas"  and  "Bahia  Honda";  a  Cnited  States  Covernment  Xavai 
Station  is  located  on  the  latter. 

H.WANA. 

It  is  the  smallest  Province,  and  contains  the  Capital  of  the  Island,  and. 
therefore,  the  ("entral  (Joverumeiit.  and  the  residence  of  the  President  of  the 
Keimbli*'.  Congress,  that  is,  the  House  of  Representatives  and  Senate,  and  the 
Diplomatic  Body. 

The  Provin<'e  of  IIa\aiia  is  also  noted  for  the  l.irge  sponge  fisheries  of 
Batai)an6,  which  is  situated  in  the  southern  part  of  the  Province. 

On  aci'ount  of  the  (piality  and  (piantity  id'  the  sponges,  this  is  one  of  the 
most  important  industries  of  the  I'rovince.

THE  PRESIDENT'S  PALACE. 

It  is  a  beautiful  building  which  in  the  time  of  the  Spanish  rule  was  the  resi- 
dence of  the  Governor  General,  during  the  period  of  the  American  Interven- 
tion was  the  Headquarters  of  the  Military  Government,  and  now  is  the  resi- 
dence of  the  President  of  the  Republic.  It  was  built  in  the  year  1834,  and  has 
been  kept  in  good  condition. 

THE  TExMPLETE —  (Small  Temple). 

This  chapel  was  built  in  the  .year  1828,  to  commemorate  the  date  and  place 
where  the  first  mass  was  celebrated,  when  Diego  de  Velazquez  founded  Havana 
iu  1519. 

This  chapel  is  only  opened  once  a  year,  and  this  on  the  16th  of  November, 
which  is  St.  Christopher's  day,  the  Patron  Saint  of  Havana. 

The  chapel  has  a  bronze  tablet,  which  reads  as  follows: 

"Reinando  el  Seuor  Don  Fernando  VII,  siendo  Presidente  y  Gobernador 
Don  Francisco  Dionisio  Vives,  la  Fidelisima  Habana,  Religiosa  y  Pacifica,  erigio 
este  sencillo  monumento.  decorando  el  sitio  donde  el  aiio  1519  se  celebro  la 
primera  misa  y  Cabildo ;  el  Obispo  Don  Juan  Jose  Diaz  de  Espada  solemnizo  el 
mismo  augusto  sacrificio  el  9  de  IMarzo  de  1828". 

("During  the  reign  of  His  Majesty  Don  Fernando  VII,  and  the  incumbency 
of  Don  Francisco  Dionisio  Vives,  as  President  and  Governor,  the  faithful, 
religious  and  pacific  Havana  erected  this  simple  monument  to  decorate  the 
spot  where  in  the  j^ear  1539  the  first  mass  and  chapter  was  celebrated;  Bishop 
Don  Jose  Diaz  de  Espada  solemnized  this  august  sacrifice  on  the  9th  day  o? 
March,  1828") 

THE  CATHEDRAL. 

It  was  begun  in  the  year  1656,  but  was  not  finished  until  the  year  1724. 

The  most  notable  thing  to  see  in  the  Cathedral  is  the  vault  in  which  the 
remains  of  Christopher  Columbus  were  buried,  when  they  were  sent  from 
Santo  Domingo  to  the  Island  of  Cuba. 

This  vault  is  on  the  left  hand  side  in  the  rear,  and  here  the  remains  of 
Columbus  remained  until  they  were  placed  in  a  magnificent  monument  which 
was  erected  in  the  center  of  the  Cathedral,  whence  they  were,  later  on, 
removed  and  taken  to  Seville,  Spain,  where  they  now  are. 

There  has  been  a  dispute  about  the  authenticity  of  the  remains  of  Chris- 
topher Columbus  which  now  rest  in  Seville,  since  it  is  said  that  the  remains 
sent  to  Cuba  from  Santo  Domingo  were  not  the  remains  of  Columbus,  and 
others  say  that  those  sent  to  Cuba  were  the  remains  of  Columbus,  but  that 
those  sent  from  Cuba  to  Seville  were  not.

Religious  Evolution. 


NLY  eight  years  had  elapsed  from  the  time  of  the  arrival  and  estait- 
lishment  of  the  Spaniards  in  the  Island  of  Cuba,  when  the  Dio- 
cese of  Baracoa.  under  the  name  of  "Asuncion"  was  established 
^^^^^i^  by  Papal  Bull  of  Pope  Leo  X.  A  great  deal  has  been  said  about 
who  was  the  first  Bishop  of  Cuba,  but  we  think  that  the  preponderance  of  au- 
thority is  to  the  effect  that  Juan  Garces  de  la  0.  P.  was  the  first,  and  he  did  not 
occupy  the  See. 

One  should  bear  in  mind,  as  a  mere  historic  fact,  that  no  Bishop  resided 
in  Baracoa,  which  See  was  suppressed  later  on  by  Pope  Adrian  VI,  in  1552,  i.  e., 
in  the  year  when  Velazquez  died. 

In  the  year  1523  the  Diocese  of  Santiago  was  founded,  the  first  one  to  oc- 
cupy same  being  Juan  de  Witte,  who,  according  to  general  opinion,  belonged 
to  the  "Orden  de  Predicadores",  and  who  never  took  up  his  official  residence 
in  it.  renouncing  it  in  1527. 

One  must  also  bear  in  mind  that  during  all  this  time,  the  religious  ad- 
ministration of  Florida,  Jamaica  and  the  other  Islands  was,  annexed  to  San- 
tiago until  the  end  of  the  Eighteenth  Century,  when  Santiago  was  declared 
Metropolitan  (Archiepiscopal  Church),  the  Diocese  of  Havana  also  being  estab- 
lished. 

During  this  time,  the  Church  was  goA'erned  by  decrees  or  orders  of  the 
"Concilio  Provincial"  (Provincial  Assembly  of  Bishops)  of  Santo  Domingo,  as- 
sembled in  1622.  On  the  4th  of  INIarch,  1673,  the  King  of  Spain  ordered  the 
Bishop  Vera  Calderon  to  call  together  a  Synod,  which  was  held  in  1684  under 
the  administration  of  Bishop  Juan  Garcia  de  Palacios. 

The  first  established  Keligious  Order  in  the  Island  of  Cuba  were  the 
''Clarisas"  (Clare,  nun  of  the  Order  of  St.  Clara),  in  1644. 

The  "Jesuitas"  (Jesuits)  were  established  in  Cuba  in  1721. 

During  the  time  that  Cuba  was  a  Spanish  Colony,  the  Bishops  were  usually 
Spanish,  and  to  be  frank,  Cuba  has  had  Prelates  of  great  merit,  such  as, 
for  example :  P.  Claret,  who  had  the  reputation  of  a  Saint.  D.  Diego  EveUno 
de  Compostela,  who  was  a  sage.  D.  Jacinto  Maria  Martinez  y  Saiz,  in  whose 
time  the  Ten  Years'  War  broke  out,  and  for  whom  the  Cubans  feel  eternal 
gratitude,  since  the  letters  which  this  worthy  Prelate  Avrote  at  that  time  in 
favor  of  the  Cubans,  who  Avere  banished,  are  of  great  historical  value  to  Cuba. 

—  20  — 


The  last  Spanish  prelatos  of  tho  Spanish  Rule  in  Cuba  were  Mens.  Saenz 
de  Utri.  Ar('hl)ishop  of  Santiajro,  y  Mons.  Santander  y  Trutos,  Hishop  of  Ha- 
vana, who  ri'sijjned  at  the  time  of  the  Ameriean  Intervention. 

The  first  Prelate  of  Cuba,  after  the  Spanish  Colony,  was  the  learned  and 
virtuous  ]\I()iisij;nor  Barnada  y  Aguiar  of  Santiago  who  occupied  the  Arch- 
bishopric of  Santiago. 

At  the  time  of  the  birth  of  Independent  Cuba  there  were  the  dioceses  of 
Cienfuegos,  Pinar  del  Rio.  Matan/as  and  Camaguey,  and  at  the  present  time 
the  Island  of  Cuba  is  divided  into  five  Bishoprics  and  the  Metropolitan  See 
of  Santiago..

Sanitation  and  its  Progress 


T  IS  iirKiuestionably  true  that  a  great  change  has  taken  place  in 
Cuba,  since  it  has  become  independent,  and  this  change  is  es- 
pecially noticeable  in  sanitation.  Considering  the  results  achieved 
such  as  extirpation  of  the  j^ellow  fever,  etc.,  it  is  readily  apparent, 
that  one  who  would  write  an  article  on  the  progress  of  sanitation  in  Cuba, 
must  possess  a  scientific  knowledge  of  the  points  involved,  and  it  would  be  ab-

SANITATION   IN   CUBA  — ITS   PROGRESS. 

By  DR.  JOKGK  LE  ROY  Y  CASSA,  M.  1). 

To  promote  the  health  of 
a  people,  is  to  prepare  it  for 
its  freedom. 

The  sentence  which  serves  as  a  heading  for  this  article,  may  be  said  to 
condense  the  historic  evolution  of  our  Sanitation. 

In  order  to  demonstrate  the  certainty  of  this  assertion,  I  have  made  pa- 
tient bibliographic  researches  which  have  led  me  to  present  with  the  most  elo- 
quent data  —  statistics  —  the  successive  epochs  of  our  sanitary  development. 

Inasmuch  as  I  understand  that  History  is  the  teacher  of  humanity.  I  have 
resorted  to  its  study  in  order  to  appreciate'  the  manner  in  which  we  have  lived 
in  our  country,  and  its  teachings  have  shown  me  errors  of  appreciation  on  the 
one  hand,  negligence  and  neglect  of  hygienic  precepts  on  the  other.  In  the 
same  way,  the  study  of  the  data  Avhich  I  will  present  further  on.  has  shown 
me  the  greatness  of  science,  besides  the  need  of  establishing  its  precepts  in  an

lost  country,  hefjan  the  period  of  the  true  Cuban  restoration.  The  mother 
country  sent  illustrious  men.  and  the  names  of  the  Marcpiis  de  la  Torre  and 
Luis  de  las  Casas  tilled  witii  their  work  the  last  epoch  of  the  Eighteenth  Cen- 
tury. A  new  era  si)raug  up  in  which  the  governors  and  the  governed  minded 
only  the  fulfillment  of  their  civic  duties  and  the  welfare  of  their  native  coun- 
try, as  Well  as  the  country  whose  rule  was  entrusted  to  them. 

The  Nineteenth  Century  begins  with  two  evt'nts  of  a  paramount  impor- 
tance in  the  sanitary  liistory  of  our  people.  I  refer  to  the  introduction  of 
Jenner's  vaccine,  and  the  burial  in  cemeteries  outside  of  places  of  worship. 
Two  names  cast  the  rays  of  their  glory  on  these  two  events:  that  of  the  never- 
to-be-forgotten  Bishop  Esjiada.  and  that  of  Dr.  Tomas  Romay. 

"Small-pox,  which  had  caused  considerable  ravages  in  the  population  since 
the  Conipiest,  was  now  to  be  efficaciously  coml)ated,  for  soon  after  Jenner  had 
practiced  the  first  inoculation  (May  14th,  1700),  the  French  surgeons  Mv. 
Vignard  or  Duvigneau.  of  the  island  of  St.  Thonms,  inoculated  while  at  San- 
tiago de  Cul)a.  on  January  12th.  1804.  a  child  with  virus  brought  between  glass 
slith's;  and  Dr.  Miguel  Holland,  on  February  2()th,  had  already  propagated 
same  to  one  hundred  ;ind  lifteen  persons.  In  Havana  the  small-pox  vaccina- 
tion could  not  begin  until  the  12th  of  February  of  the  same  year  1804,  the  virus 
being  obtained  from  the  son  aiul  of  two  slave  girls  of  Maria  Bustamante,  who 
arrived  two  days  before  from  Aguadilla  (Porto  Rico).  AVith  this  virus  Dr. 
Romay  inoculated  his  five  children  and  besides  thirty-one  persons  more,  and 
propagating  it  hence,  thanks  to  the  support  of  the  Bishoj).  and  ol)taining  sueh 
a  success  that  when  on  May  2t)th.  ther<'  arrived  Dr.  Francisco  X.  Balmis  sent 
by  Charles  IV.  the  commissioner  was  agri'eal)ly  surprised  to  find  vaccination 
firmly  established  by  .so  intelligent  a  ]>hysician  as  Dr.  Romay,  whom  he  con- 
sidered as  a  "sage"  on  reporting  to  His  Catholic  ^Majesty  his  work  on  the  is- 
land. The  result  of  this  sanitary  campaign  is  shown  with  the  date  taken  from 
"EL  AVISO",  a  Havana  newspaper,  dated  Thursday.  October  10th.  ISO."),  which 
says  that  alone  in  the  j'ear  1804  there  had  been  interred  in  the  Capuchine  Order 

—  23  — 


Cemetery  "nearly  eight  hundred  bodies  of  children  dead  from  small-pox"; 
and  in  the  general  cemetery  where  according  to  the  same  paper  "where  are 
buried  all  who  die  in  the  city  and  the  nearly  extramural  wards,  only  two  small- 
pox deads  have  been  interred  in  the  previous  year"  (EL  AVISO,  Sunday, 
February  7th,  1808). 

In  that  year  (1807),  3,745  persons  were  vaccinated  in  Havana  and  its  vi- 
cinity ;  the  total  number  of  those  vaccinated  in  the  island  being  7,358. 

The  second  event  I  have  referred  to,  i.  e. :  interments  outside  of  churches, 
which  led  to  the  building  of  a  general  cemetery,  was  proposed'  by  Bishop  Es- 
pada  at  a  meeting  held  by  the  "Sociedad  Patriotica  de  Amigos  del  Pais  de  la 
Habana",  on  January  27th,  1803,  who  overcame  all  the  obstacles  which  op- 
posed the  carrying  out  of  so  important  a  work,  directing  it  himself  and  In 
cooperation  with  Dr.  Romay  finally  led  to  its  inauguration.  It  was  dedicated 
"To  Religion.  To  Public  Health"*)  on  February  2nd,  1806,  the  first  bodies 
to  be  buried  there,  being  those  of  Diego  Manrique,  Governor  and  Captain 
General  of  the  island;  and  that  of  Jose  Gonzalez  Candamo.  Bishop  of  Milasa 
and  auxiliary  of  this  diocese,  both  dying  as  the  result  of  black  vomit,  the  for- 
mer on  July  13th,  1765,  and  the  latter  on  September  12th,  1801.  Thus  was 
abolished  forever  the  pernicious  promiscuity  of  having  the  living  and  the  dead 
in  the  same  temple  and  leading  to  the  rapid  spread  of  the  custom  of  cemetery 
burials  throughout  the  island. 

In  the  same  way  that  these  two  capital  events  led  at  the  birth  of  the  Nine- 
teenth Century,  two  others  still  more  important  on  account  of  their  more  gen- 
eral application,  came  to  characterize  the  beginning  of  the  Twentieth  Century. 
I  have  reference  to  the  confirmation  of  the  doctrine  upheld  by  Finlay  since 
1881,  with  regard  to  the  etiology  of  Yellow  Fever,  and  its  application  leading 
to  the  eradication  of  that  nosologic  entity  from  our  mortuary  tables ;  the  other 
being  the  nationalization  of  the  sanitary  services,  giving  them  a  uniform  char- 
acter throughout  the  territory  of  the  Republic. 

Again  it  was  necessary  for  foreign  influence  to  bring  about  the  application 
of  these  measures,  the  importance  of  which  has  been  so  universal  that  it  trans- 
formed completely  the  prophylactic  treatment  of  Yellow  Fever.  It  was  neces- 
sary that  the  horrors  of  the  War  of  Independence  should  have  brought  about 
the  American  Intervention,  so  that  the  Medical  Commission  of  the  U.  S.  Army 
could  undertake  the  researches  which  led  to  the  full  confirmation  of  the  mos- 
quito doctrine  propounded  by  Finlay,  and  that  so  energetic  a  man  as  Dr.  AV. 
C.  Gorgas,  with  all  the  authority  conferred  by  the  military  poAver  represented 
by  another  illustrious  physician, .  General  Leonard  AVood,  could  apply  the 
measures  derived  from  Finlay 's  ideas. 

To  get  rid  of  Yellow  Fever,  the  first  measure  adopted  was  the  appointment

of  an  expert  commission  to  diagnosticate  every  case  considered  as  suspicious, 
in  order  to  protect  it  against  the  stegomyas,  thus  avoiding  the  infection  of  that 
kind  of  mosquitoes.  This  commission  may  be  said  to  liave  been  the  harrier 
that  forever  came  to  lock  out  tliat  endemic  scourge  which  devastated  our  people 
since  1671. 

Sanitation  in  cok^nial  days  Avas  rudimentary,  but  not  because  there  were 
not  men  of  good  will  and  scientific  societies  constantly  protesting  against  th(> 
nniltii)le  disregard  of  all  hygienic  precepts  and  of  pointing  ont  the  measures 
to  avoid  and  correct  such  abuses;  no.  it  is  sufficient  to  read  our  mcdii-al  lit- 
erature to  get  the  notion  that  the  even  referred  to  were  known  and  denounced. 
But  it  happen»'d  that  those  called  upon  to  correct  these  evils  lacked  the  neces- 
sary authority,  and  besides  tht-y  were  pervaded  with  sudi  a  mnslcm  fatalism 
that  induced  theni  to  thirdv  that  those  measures  recommended  by  scientific  men 
were  utterly  inadequate  to  cope  \\itli  such  ill  —  Idack  vomit  —  against  which 
they  declared  themselves  as  impotent,  and  wiiich  in  ti-nth  caused  the  greater 
part  of  our  sanitary  disasters.  Yellow  Fever  was  considered  by  all  as  a  tri- 
bute, which  every  one  coming  to  our  shores,  had  to  pay;  and  furthermore  It 
was  believed  that  the  native  (  ubans  were  not  susceptible  to  the  disease  in  spite 
of  Finlay's  demonstration  in  regard  to  the  former  that  the  said  tribute  coidd 
be  avoided  and  that  Ur.  Guiteras  has  pointed  out  th<\t  the  natives,  especially 
the  children  could  suffer  from  same. 

Two  decrees,  one  No.  159.  dated  on  the  17th  of  May.  1002.  dictaf.'d  l)y  the 
Government  of  the  first  American  Intervention,  and  the  other.  Xo.  8!)4,  dated 
on  the  2Gth  of  Augu.st,  1007.  dictated  during  the  second  Intervention,  mark 
the  greatest  advance  in  our  sanitation.  The  first  of  these  decrees,  may  be  con- 
sidered as  the  foundation  upon  which  rests  the  whole  sanitary  organization  oi"' 
Cuba.  By  it.  tliere  was  created  the  Superior  Board  of  Health,  with  ample 
powers  relative  to  health  problems.  The  local  boards  of  health  created  by  this 
decree  in  every  municipality  were  really  ])rolongations  of  the  Superior  Board 
of  Health  and  drafted  the  Sanitary  Ordinances,  wherein  are  found  in  a  coi»- 
<lensed  manner  the  precepts  which  are  to  be  complied  with  in  all  problems 
relative  to  sanitation. 

l.'oetors  J.  A.  Mall)erti  and  l\  Alharraii.  members  of  the  House  of  Repre- 
.sentatives,  presented  before  the  Cuban  Congress  two  bills  dealing  with  a  sani- 
tary law.  but  these  failed  to  pa.ss;  and  it  was  not  until  the  secoiul  Intervention, 
that  Sanitary  Supervisor.  Br.  Jefferson  R.  Kean.  succci'ded  in  promulgating 
<lecreeH  Number  804  and  ns7.  by  which  all  of  our  sanitary  services  were  na- 
tionalized and  both  the  land  and  marine  sanitation  were  united,  removing  the 
latter  serNice  from  the  control  of  the  Department  of  the  Treasury  which  had 
it  under  its  supervision. 

All  this  brought  about  the  establishment  in  January,  1909  of  the  Depart- 

—  25  — 


ment  of  Sanitation  and  Charities,  giving  its  head  a  seat  in  the  Cabinet  of  Secre- 
taries of  the  National  Executive,  a  fact  that  permits  that  organism  to  exert  its 
beneficent  influence  throughout  the  extent  of  our  national  territory.  In  con- 
nection with  this,  it  is  to  be  noticed  that  it  has  been  the  lot  of  Cuba  to  have 
the  glory  of  being  the  first  country  to  have  such  a  national  department,  the 
results  of  which  will  be  shown  further  on  by  the  figures  in  the  tables  ac- 
companying this  work. 

I  have  said  before  that  the  study  of  the  conditions  of  the  life  of  our  people, 
have  shown  me  errors  in  appreciation  on  the  one  hand  and  neglect  and  negli- 
gence of  hygienic  precepts  on  the  other.  The  former  are  founded  in  that  con- 
sidering that  Cuba  is  a  country  Avith  a  tropical  climate,  it  has  to  be  perforce 
a  most  unhealthy  and  deadly  region,  and  as  such  it  was  unjustly  classified  by 
a  Spanish  military  surgeon. 

Fiulay,  in  a  work  published  in  1878,  said:  ''The  means  available  to  the 
hygienist  in  order  to  estimate  the  salubrity  of  a  country  consist  on  the  one 
hand  in  the  meteorological  and  topographic  conditions,  which  otfer  presump- 
tive evidence  in  favor  or  against  a  locality;  and  on  the  other,  in  the  vital  sta- 
tistics which  become  decisive  argument  whenever  there  are  good  guarantees 
of  exactness  and  good  care  has  been  taken  to  eliminate  causes  of  errors,  separat- 
ing carefully  the  various  contradictory  elements  which  are  liable  to  be  con- 
founded." *) 

Regarding  the  meteorologic  conditions.  Dr.  Finlay  himself  in  the  Academy 
of  Medical  Sciences  of  Havana,  on  the  10th  of  November  of  the  same  year, 
pointed  out,  "that  the  meteorologic  conditions  place  our  climate  on  a  more 
advantageous  position  in  comparison  with  that  of  the  other  islands  of  the  West 
Indies,  because  of  its  higher  barometric  pressure,  its  more  extensive  ther- 
mometric  excursions  with  averages  more  marked  for  the  several  seasons  of 
the  year,  less  rain  fall  and  a  relative  lower  humidity.  **) 

The  interesting  meteorologic  observations  carried  out  by  the  Observator)'' 
of  Belen  College  of  Havana,  show  that  our  climate  should  be  considered  as  re- 
markably benign  among  the  tropical  countries,  due  to  the  refrigerating  action 
of  the  winds  to  which  contribute  the  narrow  and  elongated  shape  of  the  is- 
land, and  its  situation  from  the  south-east  to  the  north-west,  almost  perpendic- 
ular to  the  Alesian  air  current.  The  annual  mean  barometric  pressure  is 
761.40;  the  mean  temperature  for  the  year  is  also  24°9  C.  and  the  average  rela- 
tive humidity  is  74.7;  which  reveals,  that  on  the  whole  it  is  not  very  high  in 
spite  of  the  great  evaporation  in  these  seas  having  such  relative  high  tempera- 
ture, to  which  may  be  added  the  action  of  the  equatorial  currents. 

In  regard  to  the  neglect  and  negligence  of  the  hygienic  precepts  to  which

I  li;iv«>  referrod  ti>  before,  it  is  sufficient  to  fix  one's  attention  on  any  of  the 
ZiUUierous  works  written  on  the  subjeet  by  our  men  of  seienee  in  onler  to  ap- 
preciate them;  but  inasnnich  as  the  enumeration  of  these  wouhl  be  ratluT 
lengthy,  I  will  only  make  reference  to  the  work  presenteil  by  Marcos  Ac  .1. 
jMcUto  before  the  said  Academy  of  Sciences  entitled:  "Resena  estadistiea 
acerca  de  la  Mortalidad  en  la  Isia  de  Cuba"  (Statistical  Description  of  the 
Afortality  in  the  Island  of  Cuba),  which  is  also  linked  to  the  climatic  problem. 
In  the  mentiont'd  work,  he  states  that:  "there  is  nothing  more  unjust  than  to- 
call  unhealthy  on  accoutit  of  its  climate,  a  city  which  only  on  account  of  its 
tlwellcrs  is  not  really  healthy  as  compared  with  other  localities  of  the  same  hot 
regions  and  even  temperate  ones,  which  enjoy  the  fame  of  being  healthy, 
thanks  to  the  observance  of  the  wise  principles  of  hygiene."  And  he  added: 
"Havana,  should  be  said,  could  be  a  city  that  should  not  ci)\y  ;iiiy  regardin;^ 
salubrity  if  there  were  not  here  perpetual  foci  of  conspirations  against  all  the 
laws  of  public  hygiene,  which  foci  are  easily  found  without  any  great  effort. 

The  other  factor  necessary  to  value  exactly  the  salul)rity  or  insalul)rity 
of  a  country  is  its  vital  statistics;  hence  1  have  granted  to  it  the  most  prominent 
place  in  this  work.  In  order  that  its  data  may  have  the  necessary  guarantees 
of  exactness,  I  have  gathered  those  of  Havana,  and  those  j)ertaining  to  the  Re- 
public only  in  so  far  as  the  last  ten  years  are  concerned,  because  the  Republic 
as  such,  did  not  exist  prior  to  the  20th  of  ^lay.  1!102.  and  from  the  beginning 
of  1903  I  am  in  charge  of  the  sanitary  and  vital  statistics  service,  being  able 
therefore,  to  guarantee  in  the  chapter  of  mortality  the  exactness  of  the  repre- 
sentative figures  owing  to  the  organization  of  the  mentioned  service. 

I  have  preseilt«'d  in  the  table  number  1,  not  only  the  estimated  population 
for  each  year  in  Havana  since  1801,  availing  myself  of  the  census  recognized 
as  good  and  which  summaries  I  give  in  another  table,  but  besides  the  total  num- 
ber of  deaths  from  all  causi  s  and  the  mortality  coefficient  for  each  year,  ex- 
cepting ISOI.  ISO.")  and  1807,  years  for  which,  in  spite  of  resf^archcs  made  in 
our  lil)rarics.  as  well  as  the  Congressional  r^ii)rary  in  AVashington.  I  have  not 
been  able  to  obtain  any  source  of  information. 

Besides,  I  have  studied,  availing  myself  for  the  remote  data  of  the  Obit- 
uary Tables  of  our  hygienist.  Dr.  AmbrosioOonzalcz  (]('\  Valle  and  the  statist- 
ic-al  ])ublications  of  Dres.  Vicente  Ac  j.i  Ouardia.  M.  Dclfin  and  W.  C.  Oorgas 
in  regards  to  such  diseases  as  Yellow  fever,  malaria,  tetanus  and  small-pox 
which  represented  the  hindrance  to  our  progress  and  the  jihantom  which  pre- 
vented immigration  to  our  shores;  the  immigration  necessary'  for  the  develop- 
ment of  our  wealth,  and  the  agrandizement  of  the  country.     I  have  also  added

tables  showing  the  efforts  realized  to  combat  tuberculosis  and  typhoid  fever; 
also  another  one  wath  the  principle  contagious  diseases,  that  is  to  say,  the  pre- 
ventable diseases  if  the  appropriate  sanitary  measures  are  observed. 

In  the  curve  representing  the  mortality  of  Havana  during  the  Nineteenth 
and  Twentieth  Centuries  until  the  present  days,  I  have  pointed  out  the  epi- 
demics which  have  contributed  to  raise  the  higher  summits,  predominating 
those  of  Yellow  fever,  l)ut  not  meaning  by  this,  that  disease  did  not  prevail  con- 
stantly but  merely  that  in  the  years  mentioned  there  was  an  epidemic  recru- 
descence. 

From  the  study  of  said  table  No.  1  and  its  graphic  representation  there 
are  derived  teachings  which  confirm  my  previous  assertion.  In  fact,  if  a 
horizontal  line  be  traced  starting  from  the  point  which  marks  the  coefficient 
of  20  X  1000,  one  notices  at  once,  that  during  the  first  Century  studied  there 
are  only  two  years,  those  of  1846  and  1848,  in  which  the  figures  corresponding 
to  them  are  below  that  straight  line,  and  only  descend  ten  and  fifty-nine  hun- 
dreths  respectively,  while  in  the  twelve  consecutive  years  of  the  second  century, 
there  are  six  which  do  not  reach  that  line,  and  the  remaining  six  pass  it  only  by 
figures  of  two  and  one-fourth  units. 

If  instead  of  tracing  the  horizontal  starting  from  the  coefficient  of  20.  we 
start  from  that  of  50,  it  will  be  noticed  that  there  exist  thirteen  years  which 
surpass  the  mentioned  straight  line,  a  fact  which  can  be  verified  by  the  fol- 
lowing table :

the  Nineteenth  Century  of  36.-76,  while  for  the  first  ten  years  of  this  century 
the  average  is  20.54;  and  if  instead  of  taking  the  ten  years,  we  estimate  the 
average  for  the  twelve  years,  it  will  come  down  to  20.08.  The  existing  dif- 
ference of  16.68  in  favor  of  our  times  reveals  the  potentiality  in  the  application 
of  the  sanitary  measures  adopted,  doing  away  completely  with  small-pox  and 
yellow  fever,  and  diminishing  the  coetlficients  of  malaria,  tetanus,  tuberculosis 
and  typhoid  fever,  as  well  as  almost  all  of  the  contagious  diseases,  a  fact  easily 
proven  by  glancing  at  the  respective  tables;  besides  we  have  shut  off  from  our 
territory  cholera  which  threatened  us  with  its  proximity  and  we  have  smoth- 
ered bubonic  plague  on  its  appearance  in  Havana  in  June,  1912.

Legislation  of  the  Republic  o/Guba, 


-••O'*- 


T  IS,  of  course,  quite  outside  the  scope  of  this  book  to  furnish  a 
course  in  Cuban  law  and  to  acquaint  the  reader  with  the  maxims 
covering  this  or  that  particular  case.  Legal  advice  should  be 
procured  from  a  professional  lawyer,  established  in  the  Island 
of  Cuba. 

Experience  has  shown  that  the  best  mode  of  procedure  in  the  case  of  some 
disagreement  with  a  Cuban  importer  consists  in  first  trying  to  get  exact  infor- 
mation as  to  the  reliability  and  integrity  of  the  party.  By  writing  to  one  or 
two  of  the  local  banks,  submitting  the  case  to  them,  one  can  very  often  get 
from  the  banks  an  estimate  of  the  party's  standing  and  reliability,  and  also 
the  opinion  of  the  financial  institution  as  to  the  merits  of  the  complaint  and 
the  proper  procedure  to  be  followed.  If  an  importer  is  known  to  his  com- 
munity as  "tricky"  and  wont  to  take  unfair  advantage  of  those  with  Avhoin 
he  does  business,  such  a  tendency  on  his  part  does  not  remain  a  secret  very 
long  to  the  local  banks,  and  the  exporter  will  in  that  case  feel  more  justified 
in  prosecuting  his  claim;  on  the  other  hand,  if  the  party  is  known  as  a  man  of 
integrity,  one  can  very  often  adjust  matters  with  him  in  a  different  way,  and 
keep  his  trade.  In  sueh  a  case  it  is  ordinarily  worth  more  to  effect  a  compro- 
mise than  to  bring  suit. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  Cuban  law  is  based  on  the  Spanish  laAv, 
and  with  some  slight  changes  is,  therefore,  essentially  similar  to  the  Spanish. 
This  applies  to  both  the  civil,  as  well  as  the  criminal  branches  of  the  law. 

The  banks  in  each  city  are  generally  in  a  position  and  willing  to  recom- 
mend a  good,  reliable  lawyer,  in  case  the  services  of  one  should  become  neces- 
sary. In  that  case,  it  is  necessary  to  furnish  him  with  a  power  of  attorney,  and 
care  should  be  taken  that  the  document  is  made  out  in  conformance  with  the 
requirements  of  Cuban  procedure,  even  though  it  may  be  quite  different  from 
the  procedure  in  this  country. 

In  ord(^r  to  possess  validity  in  a  Cuban  court  of  law,  and  serve  as  the  basis 
of  an  action,  powers  of  attorney  and  other  documents  must  be  signed  by  the 
interested  parties,  and  these  signatures  must  be  verified  by  a  notary,  and  the 
signature  of  the  latter  certified  by  the  Secretary  of  State  of  the  State  in  which 
the  manufacturer  or  merchant  resides,  or  by  the  Clerk  of  the  Circuit  Court 
of  the  State  in  which  the  merchant  is  established.     Next,  the  Cuban  Consul  re- 

—  30  — 


silling  in  that  locality,  or  the  nearest  Cnhan  Consnl,  certifies  to  the  h'gality  os 
the  document.  Witliout  his  certification  the  tlociunent  possesses  no  value  in 
the  Re])ublie  of  Cuba. 

The  Consular  Fees  paid  to  the  Consul  for  certifying  a  document,  vary  ac- 
cording to  the  nature  of  the  document. 

After  all  the  re(|uirenients  regarding  signatures,  attestation,  certification, 
etc.,  have  been  complied  with,  the  document  should  best  be  sent  by  Registered 
^lail  to  the  legal  representative  in  Cul)a. 

The  expenses  connected  with  prosecuting  claims  in  Cuban  courts  are  gen- 
erally higher,  owing  not  only  to  the  higher  fees  charged  by  Cuban  lawyers, 
but  also  due  to  the  additional  fees  of  attestation  and  certification  of  documents 
by  the  Consul,  etc.,  and  translations  into  Si)anis}i.  which  expenses  must  be 
borne  by  the  j^laintitt'.

Diplomatic  and  Consular  Body, 


S  it  is  sometimes  necessary  to  request  information,  either  from  the 
*T^5>      Representative  of  Cuba  in  the  United  States  of  America,  or  vice 
versa  from  the  Representative  of  the  United  States  in  the  Ishiiid 
of  Cuba,  the  following  list  of  places  in  which  they  are  located, 
will  serve  as  a  guide  in  this  respect; 

If  one  takes  into  consideration  that  a  Consular  Invoice  is  needed  for  all 
shipments  from  the  United  States  to  Cuba,  and  that  it  is  therefore  necessary 
to  take  or  send  the  necessary  documents  to  the  corresponding  Consular  office 
for  certification,  the  importance  of  this  list  is  apparent. 

In  addressing  the  consulate,  one  should  not  mention  the  name  of  the  Con- 
sul, but  merely  indicate  the  location,  as,  for  example:  "Cuban  Consulate, 
Chicago.  111."  In  this  way  delays  may  be  avoided  which  could  otherwise  occur 
in  the  case  of  the  absence  or  removal  of  a  Consul  to  whom  a  letter  had  been 

addressed  personally.

"Of  special  Interest  to  the

Imports  and  Exports  of  the  Island  of  Cuba. 


.••O'*' 


!_■  -.^  ■  ^  ;  T  is  tnii'  thnt  tlir  Tslnnd  of  Cuba  is  a  natural  and  lofrioal  market 
'  "  .  ■  \  fur  the  nianufai'tund  i)n)(lu('ts  of  tho  United  Statos  of  Americii, 
*  1^';        ;iii(l  that  proximity  and  a  pn'ferential  tariflf  afford  the  Ameriean 

l_  .,  -  J  xpnrter  a  tremendous  advantage  over  tlie  European.  It  is  never- 
tin  It.s.N  worthy  of  notieo,  and  boars  witness  to  the  intensive  eampaign  for  the 
Cuban  trade  by  European  manufacturers,  that,  whereas  Cuba  sells  to  tho 
United  States  81.1'/'  of  her  total  exports,  she  buys  from  the  United  States 
only  ()7.4'/<  of  her  imports,  as  can  be  readily  seen  by  the  comparative  table  of 
Imports  and  Exports. 

A  careful  study  of  tlie  tables  below,  showing  kinds  and  proportions  oi' 
ditferont  merchandise  imported  by  Cuba  from  dift'erent  countries,  should  prove 
valuable  and  productive  of  results  to  the  keen  American  exporter  and  put  him 
on  tho  road  towards  regaining  tliat  part  of  the  Cuban  trade  which  he  has  neg- 
ligently allowed  to  go  to  his  oversea  competitors.  AVith  continued,  nitelligent 
effort  this  should  be  an  easy  matter,  especially,  if  one  considers  tlie  crippled 
condition  of  European  industries  which  must  result  from  the  present  European 
War.

In  the  following  pages  we  n-prodiice  tlic  official  fi«rurrs  on  various  iiiiporis 
of  the  years  1!)14  ami  IIM.").  showing  the  imports  from  tin-  Triitf*!  States  ol 
America,  and  tiio.se  from  ail  otiit-r  eounti-ics  in  ditTi n  iit  <oinmns  tor  ihe  twj 
years.  "We  believe  tliat  tin-  data  sul)mittcil  should  l)c  helpful  to  tin-  manufac- 
turer or  exporter  in  determining  the  condition  of  the  marlxct  for  iiis  own  par- 
ticular goods.  In  comparing  tiiese  iigures.  liie  elYect  of  tile  European  War 
should  l>e  taken  into  consideration.  Inasmuch  as  tiie  European  War  broke 
out  during  the  second  half  of  U)14.  the  imjiorts  were  not  so  much  affected  dur- 
ing that  year,  and  tlie  Hgui'es  can  easily  he  construed  as  i-epresciiting  a  'JO /c 
correct  statistic  of  wiiat  the  imports  would  have  amounted  to  during  \U'i4  hnO 
the  European  War  not  bioken  out  «luring  that  yejir.  .\  i-arelul  comparison  oT 
the  1915  figures  will  disclo.se  two  notewortliy  facts;  first  —  tiiat.  owing  to  the 
sliutting  off  during  the  last  mcuitlis  of  1!)14  and  during  all  of  the  year  of  191:'>. 
of  soni»'  of  the  European  markets,  to  wiiich  some  of  the  ](i'incipal  products  Ji 
('ui)a  had  been  exported,  tiie  Cuhan  people  iiad  to  i-etreiich  and  practice  a 
strict  economy,  wliicii  resulti'<l  in  lessened  importation;  second  —  that  during 
1915  the  imports  from  tiie  I'nited  States  of  America  were  comi>aratively 
heavier  than  imports  from  otiier  countries.  In  order  to  arrive  at  a  true  ap- 
preciation of  this  increase  in  imports  in  favor  of  tiie  I'niteii  States,  one  siiouKI. 
therefore,  not  compare  so  much  the  im|)orts  of  1915  fri»m  the  I'nited  States 
witli    the    imi)orts    of    1914    from    this    country,    hut    rather    the    per^-enlage 


—  41  — 


which  the  imports  bore  to  the  total  1915  imports,  compared  with  the  per- 
centage, which  the  1914  imports  from  the  United  States  bore  to  the  total  im- 
ports of  1914. 

The  figures  in  this  chapter  have  been  taken  from  the  annual  report  of 
the  Cuban  Government  and  represent  an  itemized  review  of  the  foreign  com- 
merce of  the  Kepublic  of  Cuba. 

We  desire  to  call  special  attention  to  the  following  table  and  its  graphic 
presentation  on  the  next  page.  It  should  be  noted  that,  whereas  the  percentage 
of  imports  from  the  United  States  of  America  during  1915  was  67.4%  of  the 
total  imports,  the  duty  paid  on  these  articles  amounted  to  only  54.2%  of  the 
total  duty  paid  on  all  imports.  On  the  other  hand,  this  table  shows  that  the  per- 
centage of  duty  paid  x»n  imports  from  any  and  all  other  countries  was  higher 
than  the  percentage  of  the  value  of  these  imports  to  the  total  value  of  all  im- 
ports. This  proves  conclusively  the  immense  advantage  enjoyed  by  the  Ameri- 
can exporter  by  virtue  of  the  reciprocal  duty  reductions  betw^een  the  tAvo 
countries.

The  Sugar  Industry. 


-^o-.- 


S  THE  production  of  sugar  is  the  principal  industry  of  the  Island  of 
Cuba,  some  few  data  in  regard  to  same  are  of  the  highest  impor- 
tance to  the  American  exporter.  It  will  be  noted  from  the  tables 
of  statistics  of  the  sugar  production  from  the  year  1856  to  1915, 
that  the  sugar  industry  M^as  not  properly  developed  during  the  Spanish  reign, 
but  since  Cuba  became  a  free  and  independent  nation,  the  sugar  industry  has 
acquired  enormous  proportions,  as  can  be  appreciated  by  the  statistics  of  the 
last  few  years,  bearing  witness  to  the  prosperity  of  the  country.  The  pros- 
perity of  the  whole  Island  of  Cuba  can  be  said  to  depend  as  much,  if  not  more, 
on  the  production  and  favorable  market  of  sugar  (and  tobacco),  as  for  in- 
stance the  South  of  the  United  States  depends  on  its  cotton  crop,  etc. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  needs  of  the  sugar  mills 
besides  their  own  consumption  for  operating  their  plants,  is  enormous, 
since,  as  a  rule,  every  one  of  them  has  one  or  more  establishments  where 
everything  for  covering  the  infinite  needs  of  the  thousands  of  working  people 
is  sold;  these  establishments  are  controlled  by  the  owners  of  the  sugar  mills. 
— These  company  stores  always  buy  wholesale  and  in  large  quantities;  there- 
fore, I  am  furnishing  a  list  of  all  sugar  plantations  in  the  Island  of  Cuba. 

In  the  course  of  each  year,  there  is  a  period  called  "muerto"  (dead),  ex- 
tending from  March  to  November,  when  the  workers  simplj^  plant  the  cane, 
and  the  number  of  workers  emploj'ed  at  that  time  is  smaller  than  during  the 
period  called  "de  la  Zafra"  (of  the  Sugar  Crop),  which  is  from  the  month  of 
December  to  the  month  of  February.  Then  the  cane  is  ground,  and  this  ir. 
the  period  of  life  and  activity. 

SUGAR  PLANTATIONS:  There  are  177  (seven  more  than  in  1913-14). 
There  are  7  in  the  Province  of  Pinar  del  Rio.  20  in  Havana,  40  in  Matanzas, 
68  in  Santa  Clara,  9  in  Camaguey  and  33  in  Oriente.  Pinar  del  Rio  has  the 
same  number  of  sugar  plantations  as  the  year  before,  Havana  increased  one, 
Matanzas  decreased  one,  Santa  Clara  increased  two,  Camaguey  two  and  Oriente 
three.  Of  the  177  sugar  plantations  that  are  being  operated,  76  are  the  prop- 
erty of  natives,  44  of  Americans  (U.  S.  A.),  44  of  Spanish,  and  13  of  other 
nationalities,  as  English,  French,  etc. 

The  manufacturer  of,  or  wholesale  dealer  in  machinery,  etc.,  required  by 
the  Sugar  Refineries  and  Plantations,  or  of  the  manifold  products  consumed 

—  58  — 


by  the  omployoes  of  same,  will  find  the  following  complete  and  up-to-dato 
list  of  Sugar  Refineries  and  Plantations  of  considerable  value. 

Out  of  th«  177,  wliicli  compos*'  tin-  list,  there  are  .31*  of  what  aro  known 
in  the  Sugar  Industry  as  "Ingenios"  (Kefineri«'s),  whidi  means  lln-y  only 
grind  and  make  sugar  from  the  sugar  can*'  which  they  ihemselves  raise. — 
I'lie  otlu'r  14(i*  are  known  as  "Centrales",  meaning  they  not  only  ;rrind  the 
sugar  cane  they  raise.  l)ut  also  sugar  cane  raised  by  others. 

"Ingenios"  are  marked  in  this  list  with  an  asterisk  (*),  and  in  writing  to 
thi'm,  the  word  "Ingenio"  should  be  placed  before  tlie  name  shown  in  the  tirst 
eohunn  of  the  list,  e.  g.  —  Ingenio  Angelita.  Matanzas,  Cuba.  (To  insure  deliv- 
ery ol'  letter,  the  name  of  the  owners  (column  3  of  table)  should  lie  made  a 
part  of  the  address). 

The  word  "Central"  shoidd  be  placed  before  the  name  in  the  first  column. 

wheu  writijig  to  any  of  those  not  marked  with  an  asterisk  (*).  e.  g.  —  Central 

Adela.   Santa   (  lara.  Cuba.      (To   insure   delivery   of  letter,   the   name   of  the 

owners  (column  :{  of  table)  should  be  made  a  part  of  the  address). 

♦According  to  list,  and  not  counting  those  that  do  not  grind  this  year.

The  Tobacco  Industry. 


•••Cf*~ 


^  .;  HE  two  principal  industries  of  Cu])a,  on  which  tlie  wealth  and 
'  t'cononiical  life  of  (iiha  dei)ends.  are  the  Su^ar  and  Tohaeeo  In- 
dustries. Just  as  the  Suj^ar  Industry  represents  the  power  and 
[^^.  ".  ;  grandeur  which  follows  in  the  wake  of  monetary  wealth,  the  his- 
tory of  the  Tohaeeo  Industry  is  to  a  remarkahle  degree  interwoven  with  the 
general  history  of  the  (  uban  peo])le.  In  all  the  revolutionary  movements  of 
the  Cuban  people  against  the  mother  country  until  the  time  when  Cuba  ful- 
filled her  ambition  of  being  a  free  country,  it  was  the  tabaquero  (tobacco 
worker),  who  was  always  ready  to  sacrifice  himself  in  some  way  or  other  for 
the  revolutionary  cause.  Thus,  we  see  him  give  up  5%  of  his  day's  wages  at 
first.  10%  later,  and  still  later  a  whole  day's  work,  in  order  to  provide  the 
funds  which  ^larti  (The  Apostle  of  Cuba)  employed  to  create  a  free  and  in- 
dependent Cuba. 

In  the  first  stages  of  colonization,  both  tobacco  and  sugar  were  imported, 
and  onlv  with  the  passing  of  time  have  both  these  industries  acquired  the 
«>normous  proportions  of  which  they  boast  today,  due  to  the  favorable  climatic 
and  topographic  condition  of  the  country. 

The  Tobacco  plantations  are  called  "Vegas  de  Tabaco"  (a  'Vega'  being  in 
general  parlance  land  located  in  the  valleys  between  mountains,  and  adjacent 
to  a  river,  from  which  follows  that  in  order  to  be  fit  for  tobacco  culture,  the 
land  must  possess  a  certain  degree  of  humidity). 

As  is  readily  understood  the  tobacco  produced  in  different  parts  of  the 
Island  is  not  of  tin-  same  f|uality.  and  the  tobaci-o  originating  from  the  dis- 
tricts known  as  Vuelta  Abajo,  Vuelta  Arriba  and  Semi-Vuelta  has  achieved 
the  liighest  renown.  Vuelta  Abajo  (•onii)rises  the  Province  of  Pinar  del  Rio, 
Vuelta  Arriba  the  eastern  part,  and  Semi-Vuelta  the  c<'ntral  part  of  the  Island; 
the  best  known  tobacco  being  that  from  Vuelta  Abajo,  which  to  the  outiiide 
world  is  better  known  as  Havana  Tobacco. 

The  culture  of  tobacco  has  been  gradually  ])erfec1i'd  and  improved  along 
scientifie  lines,  with  a  view  to  producing  in  some  instances  a  niild,  fine  tobacco, 
in  others  a  stroTig.  but  nevertlieless.  not  ordinary  tobacco.  The  scientific 
(h'velopment  of  tobacco  culture  can,  for  instance,  be  appreciated,  if  one  con- 
siders that  today  there  are  phi nt;it ions  where  tobacco  is  being  raised  under 
the  eover  of  tents,  thus  filtering  the  strong,  direct  rays  of  the  sun.  which  re- 
sults in  an  unusually  delicate  and  mild  tobacco.     The  fact  that  the  records  of 

—  65  — 


one  prominent  cigar  factory  of  Havana  show  that  the  cigars  manufactured 
by  that  Company  range  in  price  from  $40.00  to  $2,500.00  per  thousand  (with 
an  average  of  $90.00  per  thousand)  will  serve  as  an  illustration  of  the  quality 
of  the  Cuban  tobacco  and  workmanship. 

The  exportation  of  Cuban  tobacco,  both  in  bulk  and  manufactured,  is 
large,  and  in  order  to  appreciate  this  fact,  it  is  only  necessary  to  study  the 
statistical  data  below. 

As  is  readily  understood,  the  European  War  has  greatly  affected  the 
market  for  Cuban  tobacco,  but  with  the  return  of  normal  times,  the  advantage 
possessed  by  Cuba,  as  a  producer  of  tobacco,  both  on  account  of  the  favorable 
climatic  and  topographical  conditions,  as  well  as  knowledge  of  proper  cultiva- 
tion, will  undoubtedly  soon  restore  the  former  importance  of  this  branch  of 
Cuban  industry.

Tariff. 


.  ^"^      NDER  the  Spanish  regime,  the  customs  tariff  of  Cuba  was  pat- 
terned after  the  Si)anish  tariff,  with  lower  rates  of  duty  in  favor 
of  imports  from  Spain.     During-  the  American  intervention  the 
low  rates  of  duty  on'  imports  from  Spain  were  extended  to  im- 
ports from  all  countries. 

Of  supreme  interest  to  the  American  manufacturer,  however,  remains  the 
reciprocity  treaty  of  1902,  granting  special  rebates  of  duties  on  imports  which 
are  the  product  of  the  soil  or  industry  of  the  United  States  of  North  America. 
These  reductions  of  import  duty  on  United  States  products  range  from  20  to 
40  per  cent.  For  a  detailed  enumeration  we  refer  the  reader  to  the  treaty  it- 
self, of  which  the  official  English  version  is  rendered  at  the  end  of  this  chapter. 

Several  questions  have  arisen  as  to  what  constitutes  production  or  manu- 
facture in  the  United  States  within  the  meaning  of  the  treaty.  In  one  deeisioii 
(January  19,  1905),  the  rule  is  laid  down  that  to  constitute  manufacture,  thero 
must  be  a  transformation  which  changes  the  nature  of  the  materials,  resulting 
in  an  entirely  distinct  and  different  product;  for  example,  furniture  made  from 
foreign  lumber,  cloth  woven  from  foreign  silk  or  wool,  and  drugs  compounded 
from  foreign  salts  would  be  entitled  to  the  concessions,  but  not  roasted  coffee, 
when  merely  the  roasting  process  was  performed  in  the  United  States.  By  an 
earlier  decision,  fabrics  woven  elsewhere,  but  bleached,  printed,  or  embroidered 
in  the  United  States,  were  recognized  as  manufactured  in  the  United  States. 

The  duties  imposed  may  be  either  a  certain  percentage  of  the  value  (ad 
valorem  duties),  or  a  specified  amount  per  unit  or  multiple  of  units  of  weight, 
measure,  or  quantity  (specific  duties).  Whereas  formerly  ad  valorem  duties 
were  practically  unknown  in  the  Cuban  tariff,  there  appears  at  present  a  large 
number  of  items  in  the  Cuban  tariff  subject  to  ad  valorem  duties.  This  may 
be  ascribed  to  American  influence. 

Unless  the  tariff  specifies  that  the  dutiable  weight  shall  be  the  "gTOss 
weight"  or  the  "net  weight",  the  dutiable  weight  is  understood  to  be  the 
gross  weight  decreased  by  the  allowance  for  tare,  as  shown  in  the  "Third 
Provision"  of  the  "Rules  for  the  Application  of  the  Tariff." 

In  this  connection,  it  will  often  be  found  to  result  in  quite  a  saving  in  the 
amount  of  duty,  if  articles  of  a  dift'erent  tariff  classification  are  included  in 
the  same  case  with  another  article,  inasmuch  as  in  such  cases  where  articles 

—  70  — 


of  a  (liffcrciit  classificntion  aro  infludi'd  in  the  samo  r-asp,  tlic  duty  is  figurod 
on  the  actual  n.-t  wriirht  of  carli.  If.  on  the  other  hand,  the  ease  contains 
artieh's  of  the  same  elassifieation,  and  they  are  such  as,  aeeordinf;  to  the  tariff, 
are  subject  to  a  certain  amount  of  tare  aUowance  from  the  gro.ss  weight,  it 
will  often  be  found  that  tlie  actual  net  weight  is  a  goi»d  deal  less  than  the 
technical  net  weight  obtained  by  subtracting  from  the  gross  weight  the  per- 
centag<'  specified  in  the  "Kules  for  Application  of  the  Tariff".  In  case  that 
no  article  of  a  difl'crent  classification  is  included  with  such  a  shipment,  the 
importer  will  have  to  pay  more  duty  than  otherwise.  Of  course,  it  can  also 
work  the  other  way.  and  it  may  sometimes  be  more  advantageoiLs  to  tlie  iin- 
l)orter  to  have  to  pay  duty  on  the  technical,  rather  than  on  the  actual  net 
weight.  The  saving  which  may  result  from  cither  "breaking  the  tare"  (as 
the  act  of  including  an  article  of  a  different  classification  for  the  purpose  of 
taking  the  shipment  out  of  the  ])rovisions  of  the  tariff  regarding  a  specified 
allowance  for  tare  only  is  called),  or  arranging  the  shipment  with  a  view  to 
taking  advantage  of  the  larger  official  tare  allowance,  should  be  calculated 
in  advance,  before  the  eases  are  made  up.  Failure  to  do  this,  and  the  conse- 
cjuent  added  expense  of  more  duty,  does  not  make  \ho  importer  favoi-ably  in- 
clined towards  further  dealings  with  a  firm  who.  by  the  exercise  of  a  little 
good  judgment,  could  have  saved  him  money. 

The  dutiable  value  on  which  duty  nuist  be  paid,  is  taki'U  to  ])e  the  usual 
wholesale  value  in  the  eountrv  from  which  the  nier(  handise  is  imported,  to- 
gether with  the  cost  of  packing,  value  of  receptacles,  and  other  expenses  con- 
neeted  with  preparing  the  goods  for  shii)ment.  up  to  the  moment  when  th-y 
leave  the  factory  or  warehouse  of  the  exporter;  consular  fees,  freight  an<l  in- 
surance are  not  included  in  the  dutiable  value. 

By  presidential  decree  of  February  1,  1004.  a  surtax  was  imposed  on  most 
rates  of  duty  in  force.  Some  few  items  were  not  included  in  this  surtax,  on 
others  the  surtax  was  less  than  20'/» ,  on  most  of  them  however  it  range's 
between  20  to  80 'i .  This  surtax  is  always  a  stated  percentage  of  the  duty 
imposed  by  the  tariff,  and  not  a  stated  percentage  of  the  value  of  the  gooils. 
Thus,  two  shipments  of  the  value  of  $1,000.00  each,  of  which  one  is  subjeet 
to  an  import  duty  of  20',;  ad  valorem  (of  the  value)  and  the  other  30' J .  and 
both  subject  to  a  surtax  of  20' I .  would  in  the  one  case  be  sul)jcct  to  a  duty 
of  $200.00  plus  a  surtax  of  $40.00,  and  in  the  other  to  a  duty  of  $:U)0.00,  aitd 
a  surtax  of  .$(50.00. 

Articles  which,  by  their  nature  or  use.  are  comjjosed  of  two  or  more 
materials  or  of  different  i)arts  (as  for  instance,  the  handle  of  an  implement  and 
the  implement  itself,  the  glass  and  frame  of  a  mirror)  shall  be  dutiable  on  the 
entire  weight  as  the  i-omponent  material  of  chief  value.  —  In  case  of  doubt  as 
to  the  component  material  of  chief  value,  the  article  shall  be  dutiable  according 
to  the  most  highly  taxed  compon«'nt  material.

The  "First  Provision"  of  the  "Rules  for  the  Application  of  the  Tariff" 
provides  elaborate  rules  for  the  classification  of  fabrics.  The  textile  materials 
are  arranged  in  four  classes,  and  the  rate  of  duty  rises  in  accordance  with 
these  four  classes,  being  lowest  on  fabrics  made  of  cotton,  higher  on  other 
vegetable  fibre  than  cotton,  still  higher  in  the  ease  of  fabrics  of  wool,  and 
highest  on  silk.  As  a  general  rule  the  component  material  subject  to  the 
highest  rate,  provided  that  it  constitutes  more  than  one-fifth  of  the  total  num- 
ber of  threads  in  warp  and  weft,  determines  the  classification. 

These  rules  have  been  very  much  simplified  by  the  adoption  of  ad  valoren) 
duties  on  many  fabrics  since  the  "First  Provision"  of  the  "Rules  for  the  Ap 
plication  of  the  Tariff"  was  drafted. 

The  provisions  of  the  tariff  exempting  certain  articles  from  duty  and 
putting  them  on  the  free  list,  are,  naturally,  strictly  enforced  and  in  order  lo 
enjoy  the  benefits  of  this  part  of  the  tariff,  it  is  up  to  the  importer  to  pro^'e 
that  his  merchandise  comes  within  the  provisions  of  the  free  list. 

Since  the  introduction  of  ad  valorem  rates  of  duty,  it  has  become  possible 
to  insert  in  the  tariff  so-called  omnibus  clauses  to  apply  in  the  case  of  un- 
enumerated  articles  which  cannot  readily  be  classified  under  any  of  the  enu- 
merated headings  of  the  tariff.  It  is,  nevertheless,  always  an  open  question 
whether  an  article  which  does  not  fall  clearly  within  any  tariff  classification 
is  subject  to  duty  as  an  unenumerated  article  or  as  some  specified  article  to 
whif'h  it  may  be  assimilated.  An  advance  interpretation,  binding  in  respect 
to  the  importation  to  Avhich  it  refers,  but  not  necessarily  a  precedent  to  be 
invariably  followed,  may  be  obtained  from  the  customs  authorities  upon  sub- 
mitting full  description,  accompanied  by  samples. 

In  order  to  determine  the  amount  of  duty  to  be  paid  on  imports  from  the 
United  States,  it  is  necessary  to  ascertain,  first,  the  rate  imposed  by  the  tariff 
of  1900  Avith  any  subsequent  amendments;  second,  the  percentage  of  increase 
provided  by  the  decree  of  February  1,  1904;  and,  third,  the  percentage  of  re- 
duction granted  on  imj)orts  from  the  United  States  under  the  provisions  of 
the  reciprocity  treaty.  If,  for  instance,  an  article  was  subject  to  a  rate  of 
duty  of  20^(,  surtax  of  25%  and  reduction  in  favor  of  United  States  products 
of  40%,  then  the  compound  rate  paid  by  United  States  products  would  be 
20%-l-5%  — •  107< ,  i.  e.  15%  only,  whereas  the  same  article  from  another 
country  would  be  subject  to  a  rate  of  duty  of  20%  and  a  surtax  of  5%,  or  a 
total  of  25%. 

That  these  preferential  rates  give  the  American  manufacturer  a  decided 
advantage  over  his  foreign  competitors,  is  self-evident  and  borne  out  by  the 
considerable  increase  in  the  ratio  of  imports  from  the  United  States  since  the 
treaty  went  into  effect.

vention by  the  United  States  to  the  Republic  of  Cuba  and  by  the  Republic  of

that  may  be  imposed  by  the  national  or  local  authorities  of  either  of  the  two

herein  granted  to  the  products  and  manufactures  of  the  United  States  on  the 
basis  of  the  actual  rates  of  the  tariff  of  the  Republic  of  Cuba  now  in  force, 
should  appear  to  the  Government  of  the  said  Republic  to  be  excessive  in  view 
of  a  new  tariff  law  that  may  be  adopted  by  it  after  this  convention  becomes 
operative,  then  the  said  Republic  of  Cuba  may  reopen  negotiations  with  a  view 
to  securing  such  modifications  as  may  appear  proper  to  both  contracting 
parties.

Consular  Invoices. 

OBJECT  OF  THE  CONSULAR  INVOICES. 


.•.0'«- 


GREAT  deal  has  been  said  and  written  in  regard  to  Consular  In- 
voices, with  a  view  to  either  simplify  or  eliminate  them.  In  the 
Fourth  Pan  American  Congress  held  in  Buenos  Aires,  Republic 
of  Argentina,  in  1010,  a  resolution  was  passed  in  favor  of  adopting 
a  uniform  Consular  Invoice,  but  none  of  the  resolutions  in  regard  to  this  mat- 
ter have,  up  to  the  time  of  this  writing,  been  put  into  effect. 

The  reasons  given  for  justifying  the  existence  of  the  Consular  Invoice,  are 
as  follows:  It  facilitates  the  compilation  of  statistical  data,  minimizes  fraud- 
ulent valuation  and  the  illegal  entrance  of  merchandise,  and  is  a  source  of 
revenue  to  the  Government  in  order  to  maintain  the  expense  of  the  Consular, 
as  well  as  of  the  Diplomatic  body. 

CONSULAR   INVOICES   FOR   SHIPMENTS   TO   CUBA: 

Every  shipment  of  merchandise,  whatever  its  value  may  be,  which  is  sent 
to  any  part  of  the  Island  of  Cuba,  either  by  freight,  express,  or  mail,  or  samples 
for  the  use  of  traveling  salesmen  or  local  representatives,  also  those  articles 
which,  for  special  reasons  are  sent  gratis,  for  example,  advertising  matter,  and 
all  articles  for  family  use  which  are  sent  as  personal  propert3^  must  be  accora- 
"panied  by  a  Consular  Invoice  certified  by  the  Consul  of  Cuba,  residing  in  the 
locality,  and  in  case  there  be  no  Consul  in  the  cit3%  it  is  then  necessary  to  send 
the  corresponding  documents,  made  in  the  proper  form,  to  a  person  or  agent, 
who  resides  at  the  port  of  shipment,  so  that  this  person  or  agent  may  take  the 
documents  to  the  (  uban  Consular  Office  at  said  port,  in  order  to  procure  the 
certification  of  the  invoices. 

To  try  to  ship  knowingly  merchandise  to  the  Island  of  Cuba,  without  the 
proper  Consular  Invoice  certified  by  the  Consul  of  Cuba,  or  to  do  so  in  ig- 
norance of  the  Consulai*  regulations,  makes  one  liable  to  punishment  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  Customs  Laws  of  the  Republic  of  Cuba.  The  penalty  may 
consist  in  the  payment  of  double  Consular  Fees,  or  in  the  confiscation  of  the 
merchandise,  whatever  is  most  convenient;  in  the  latter  case,  the  goods  are 
sold  at  public  sale  or  auction  by  the  Customs  Authorities,  whenever  a  sufficient 
amount  of  such  confiscated  goods  has  accumulated  to  warrant  a  public  sale, 
or  auction.

It  is  very  important  to  bear  in  mind,  that  tho  Consular  Invoice  as  "Woll  as 
the  Bill  of  Lading;  {)roi)erly  eertifiod  by  the  Cuban  Consul  should  be  sent  ini- 
inediati'ly  to  the  consignee,  since  five  days,  counting  from  the  day  after  the 
arrival  of  the  steamer  bringing  the  goods,  are  granted  l)y  the  Customs  Authori- 
ties of  Cuba  for  presentation  of  the  Consular  documents,  and  after  five  days, 
the  goods  remain  in  the  storage  houses  of  the  Custom  House,  subject  to  pay- 
ment by  the  consignee  of  a  very  high  storage  charge,  which  additional  unneces- 
sary expense  can  be  the  cause  of  annoyance  and  arguments,  and  may.  in  some 
eases,  oven  lead  the  importer  to  abandon  the  entire  transaction,  or  will,  at  least, 
prejudice  him  against  a  house  that  puts  liim  to  such  an  unnecessary  expense 
and  annoyance. 

The  Consular  Invoice  slu)uld  be  written  in  Spanish,  since,  altiiough  it  '\9, 
true  that  the  Cuban  Consul  will  certify  an  Invoice  written  in  English,  the  con- 
signee then  finds  it  necessary,  before  presenting  it  to  the  Customs  Authorities 
in  order  to  clear  the  goods,  to  have  it  translated  into  Spanish ;  very  often  ho 
has  not  time  to  do  so  (on  account  of  the  expiration  of  the  fiv<'  days  allowed 
for  presentation  of  the  Consular  Invoice).  Tho  consignee  has  to  pay  for  tho 
translation,  to  which  he  generally  objects,  a  thing  which  does  not  happen  with 
the  shipments  of  European  firms  with  whom  he  has  dealt  and  who  send  tho 
documents  properly  made  out  in  Spanish. 

Instructions  should  be  given  to  the  Packing  Department  that,  when  pack 
ing  merchandise  for  shijiment  to  Cuba,  a  record  should  be  made   of  the  amount, 
weight  and  kind  of  goods  shipped  in  each  separate  case  or  package,  so  tliat  ii 
is  known  what  each  case  or  package  contains,  as  well  as  the  gross  and  net 
weight  of  the  contents  of  each  case  or  package. 

The  above  are  mere  generalities  (which  however  must  be  borne  in  mind)  ; 
now  follows  an  explanation  of  the  mode  of  procedure  in  making  out  a  Con- 
sular Invoice.

MERCHANDISE    SHIPPED    BY    FREIGHT: 

In  order  to  properly  execute  the  Consular  Invoice  of  all  merchandise 
shipped  by  freight,  the  following  is  necessary: 

1.  To  request  from  the  Shipping  Clerk  the  receipt  given  by  the  Eailroad 
Company  for  the  merchandise  shipped  and  consigned  to  the  customer  in  Cuba 

2.  As  soon  as  this  receipt  is  obtained,  it  should  be  taken  to  the  Foreign 
Office  of  the  Railroad  who  issued  same,  and  a  Foreign  Bill  of  Lading  requested, 
and  a  memorandum  of  the  expenses  corresponding  to  the  Inland  Freight  and 
Ocean  Freight.  This  generally  cannot  be  done  immediately,  and  in  most 
cases  entails  a  delay  of  one-half  to  one  day. 

3.  In  case  a  shipment  is  to  be,  insured,  a  request  should  be  made  of  the 
]\Iarine  Insurance  Company  for  insurance  for  the  total  value  of  the  goods,  plus 
an  additional  107r.  This  extra  10%  is  added  to  pay  for  freight  and  other  ex- 
penses, in  case  of  loss  of  shipment.  The  Insurance  Policy  cannot,  as  a  rule, 
be  had  at  once,  one-half  to  one  whole  day  being  required. 

While  waiting  for  the  Foreign  Bill  of  Lading  from  the  Railroad  Company, 
and  the  Insurance  Policy  from  the  Insurance  Company,  the  preparation  of  the 
Consular  Invoice  can  begin. 

It  is  important  to  note  that  for  shipments  to  any  part  of  the  Province  of 
Havana,  it  is  advisable  to  make  nine  (9)  copies,  and  for  any  other  part  of  Cuba, 
eight  (8)  copies  only  are  necessary. 

4.  An  English  Invoice  or  memorandum  should  be  obtained  from  the  Bill 
Clerk  covering  this  particular  shipment,  and  specifying  clearly  the  contents 
of  each  case  or  package,  the  price  of  each  article  separately,  as  well  as  the 
gross  and  net  weight  of  each  case  or  package,  which  data  are  not  easily  ob- 
tained, unless  a  corresponding  record  has  been  made  when  the  goods  were 
packed. 

5.  Having  obtained  the  English  invoice  or  memorandum  referred  to  in 
Article  No.  4,  the  Consular  Invoice  should  then  be  made  out,  copying  form 
shown  on  page  81. 

The  corresponding  spaces  should  be  filled  Avith  the  proper  data,  for  ex- 
ample, St.  Louis,  Mo.,  the  date  of  the  month  and  year,  Factura  de  Mercancias 
embarcadas  per  (Invoice  of  Merchandise  shipped  by)  name  of  firm  making  the 
shipment,  con  destino  a  (destination)  name  of  the  port,  specifying  the  Province 
in  which  it  is  situated,  and  the  word  "Cuba"  after  same,  por  cuenta  y  riesgo  de 
(for  account  and  risk  of)  name  of  the  firm  in  Cuba  who  is  buying  the  mer- 
chandise, y  a  la  consignacion  de  (consigned  to)  either  the  name  of  the  firm 
who  is. buying  the  merchandise,  specifying  the  address,  town,  province,  and 
the  word  "Cuba"  after  same,  or  the  name  of  the  firm  or  agent  who  attends  to 
the    shipment,    specifying    the    locality.     Embarcado    por    el    Ferrocarril    de

(shipped  bj^  railroad  of)  place  the  name  of  the  railroad  over  which  the  ship- 
ment goes  forward,  desde  (from)  name  of  the  town  and  state  whence  ship- 
ment is  made,  a  (to)  name  of  the  port  of  shipment  and  state  whence  the  ship- 
ment is  transported  by  ship  to  its  destination.  Marcas  (Marks)  the  marks 
of  each  case  or  package  should  be  placed,  Numero  de  bultos  (Number  of  pack- 
ages) the  number  of  each  case  or  package  should  be  put  down  consecutively; 
after  each  number  one  should  proceed  to  the  Descripcion  (Description)  of  the 
goods  contained  in  each  case  or  package,  filling  the  column  of  Precio  (Price) 
per  unit,  as  the  description  is  made,  marking  the  price  of  each  article  sep- 
arately in  the  column,  and  after  the  description  of  all  the  goods  in  the  first 
case  is  finished,  specifying  the  price  of  each  one  of  the  articles,  the  columns 
oi'  gross  and  net  weight  should  be  filled  out  for  the  first  case,  also  the  total 
amount  or  value  of  the  case. 

If  the  shipment  is  composed  of  more  than  one  case,  the  same  procedure  is 
to  be  followed  with  the  rest  of  the  cases  or  packages. 

Having  listed  all  the  cases  or  packages  as  outlined  above,  the  total  values 
of  all  the  packages,  as  shown  in  the  last  column  of  the  Invoice,  should  be  ad- 
ded and  the  total  amount  of  the  Inland  and  Ocean  Freight  added  to  this,  using 
the  following  form  : 

Valor  Total  del  Embarque  (Total  Value  of  the  Shipment) $ 

Gasto  de  Flete  Terrestre   (Inland  Freight) $ 

Gasto  de  Flete  Maritimo   (Ocean  Freight) $ 

Then  the  following  should  be  written:  "Estos  gastos  de  flete  y  todos  los 
otros  estan  incluidos  en  el  valor  de  esta  factura" —  (This  expense  of  freight 
and  all  others  are  included  in  the  amount  of  this  invoice). 

Then,  the  following  should  be  written  below:  "Declaramos  que  somos  los 
fabricantes  de  las  mercancias  relacionadas  en  la  presente  factura,  y  que  son 
ciertos  los  precios  y  demas  parti eul ares  que  en  ella  se  consignan,  y  que  las  mer- 
cancias contenidas  en  dicha  factura  son  productos  de  la  Industria  de  los  Estados 
Unidos  de  America." — (We  declare  that  we  are  the  manufacturers  of  the 
merchandise  described  in  the  present  invoice,  and  that  the  prices  and  other 
particulars  given  therein  are  correct,  and  that  the  merchandise  mentioned  in 
said  invoice  is  the  product  of  the  Industry  of  the  United  States  of  America), 
Then  follows  the  name  of  the  firm  making  shipment,  and  pen  and  ink  signature 
of  an  authorized  member  of  the  firm.  This  declaration  is  applicable  for  the 
articles  which  are  products  of  Industry,  but  substitute  ''del  Suelo"  (of  the 
soil)  for  the  words  "de  la  Industria"  (of  the  Industry),  in  case  the  article 
shipped  is  a  product  of  the  soil,  for  example,  grains,  seeds,  etc. 

But,  in  case  that  the  merchandise  shipped  is  not  the  product  of  the  In- 
dustry nor  the  Soil  of  the  United  States  of  America,  that  is  to  say,  it  is  goods 

—  82  — 


imported  into  the  United  States  of  America,  the  previous  dechiration  is  not 
valitl,  sinee  said  deehiration  is  only  used  for  the  shipments  ot"  artieh's  whieh  ar<' 
the  products  "de  la  Industria"  (of  the  Industry)  or  "del  Suelo"  (of  the  Soil) 
of  the  United  States,  and,  therefore,  the  following  declaration  should  he  copied: 
"Declaramos  (pie  somos  los  vendedores  de  las  mercancias  relacionadas  en  la 
presente  factura,  y  (pie  son  ciertos  los  precios  y  demas  particulares  que  en  cUa 
se  consignan." —  (We  declare  that  we  are  the  sellers  of  the  merchandise  de- 
scrihed  in  the  present  invoice,  and  that  the  prices  and  other  particulars  given 
therein  are  correct). 

In  case  the  Consular  Invoice  consists  of  several  pages,  each  page  should  he 
numhered,  and  the  above  declaration  written  on  the  last  page  only,  with  siif- 
ticient  space  after  the  signature  of  the  firm  and  member  of  same,  for  the  Cuban 
Consul  to  place  his  official  seal  (say.  about  five  or  six  inches). 

The  declaration  of  the  manufacturer  or  seller  as  referred  to  above  can  be 
simplified  by  having  a  rubber  stamp  of  the  declaration  made,  and  stamping 
same  after  the  description,  thus  avoiding  the  work  of  con.stantly  rewriting  the 
declaration.  The  object  of  this  declaration  is  to  enable  the  Government  of  the 
Republic  of  Cuba  to  distinguish  between  products  of  the  industry  or  the  soil 
of  the  United  States  of  America,  so  as  to  apply  to  them  the  preferential  taritf 
existing  between  both  republics.  Inasnuich  as  goods  thus  imported  from  the 
I  nited  States  are  subject  to  a  lower  rate  of  duty  than  oth(ir  goods,  tlie  value 
of  this  to  the  American  exporter  is  readily  apparent. 

If  the  merchandise  shipped  be  fabrics,  the  description  of  same  in  the  Con- 
sular Invoice  should  specify  the  following  details: 

1.  Nature  of  fibre  (cotton,  linen,  wool,  silk,  etc.) 

2.  Kind  of  fabric  (plain,  smooth,  twilled,  damasked,  and  whether  em- 
broidered or  not). 

3.  Bleached,  half  bleached,  printed,  dyed  in  the  piece  or  colored. 

4.  Number  of  threads  in  a  square  of  6  inillimeters  ('/4  inch). 

5.  Length  and  width  in  meters  and  centimeters. 

6.  Weight  of  100  square  meters. 

7.  Price  per  unit,  vahn-  of  each  kind  and  nature  of  same. 

Having  written  and  signed  the  declaration,  the  Consular  Invoice  is  ready, 
as  far  as  the  shipper  is  concerned. 

The  following  should  then  be  done:  First  of  all.  it  is  necessary  to  obtain 
the  Foreign  Hill  of  Lading  and  the  Insurance  Policy  from  th.-  Railroad  Office 
and  In.surance  Company,  respectively.  The  Railroad  Comi)any  will  demand 
the  Shipper's  Export  Declaration  proixrly  «'xecuted.  .signed  liy  the  authorized 
member  of  the  firm,  and  certified  by  a  Notary  Public  or  by  the  Collector  of 
Customs.     This  document   is  rerpiired   by   tlie    Cnited   States  CJovernment   for 

—  83  — 


its  own  use.  and  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  present  same  before  the  mer- 
chandise can  leave  this  country.  To  execute  this  Shipper's  Export  Declara- 
tion, one  only  need  to  follow  the  instructions  printed  on  the  blank  form. 

Next,  the  original  and  four  copies  of  the  Consular  Invoices,  together  with 
the  original  and  one  copy  of  the  Foreign  Bill  of  Lading,  on  shipments  to  any 
town  in  the  Province  of  Habana,  —  or  the  original  and  three  copies  of  the 
Consular  Invoice,  together  with  the  original  and  a  copy  of  the  Foreign  Bill  of 
Lading  on  shipments  for  any  other  part  of  Cuba,  should  then  be  taken  to  the 
Cuban  Consul.  After  placing  the  proper  seals  on  the  Invoices  and  making  the 
proper  entrance  in  his  books,  the  Consul  will  return  the  Original  Invoice  and 
the  Original  Bill  of  leading  properly  certified,  and  give  a  receipt  for  the  fee 
that  must  be  paid  in  accordance  with  the  table,  of  Consular  fees. 

This  having  been  done,  the  Consular  Invoice  and  Bill  of  Lading  certified 
by  the  Consul,  plus  two  copies  of  same  should  be  sent  to  the  consignee  in  Cuba^ 
including  in  the  same  envelope  the  copy  of  the  Insurance  Policy,  and  the  proper 
Invoice  and  letter  of  the  firm  making  shipment.  This  procedure  should  be 
followed  for  ALL  Provinces  of  the  Island,  Havana  as  well  as  the  others. 

Of  the  remainder  of  the  copies,  send  one  Invoice  and  a  copy  of  the  Bill 
of  Lading  to  the  office  of  the  Steamship  Company  located  at  the  port  whence 
the  goods  leave  this  country,  with  a  letter  requesting  them  to  kindly  take 
charge  of  the  shipment,  advising  them  also  that  the  documents  have  been 
properly  certified  by  the  Consul  of  Cuba,  in  case  there  is  a  Consul  of  Cuba 
in  the  citj'  where  the  shipper  is  established. 

In  case  there  is  no  Cuban  Consul  in  the  city  where  the  shipper  is  located, 
then  as  manj'  sets  of  copies  of  the  Consular  Invoice  as  need  be  certified,  should 
be  sent  to  an  agent  M^ho  resides  in  the  port  whence  the  merchandise  leaves  for 
its  destination,  so  that  he  may  take  said  copies  to  the  Cuban  Consular  Office 
which  is  situated  at  that  port  for  certification,  paying  the  corresponding  Con- 
sular fees,  and  return  them,  and  then  proceed  as  stated  above. 

There  remains  one  set  of  copies  of  the  Invoice  in  Spanish,  also  of  the  Bill 
of  Lading.  These  should  be  pinned  to  the  original  English  Invoice  and  filed 
for  reference. 

MERCHANDISE   SENT   BY  xMAIL: 

In  case  that  the  merchandise  is  sent  by  mail,  that  is  to  &ay,  by  Parcel 
Post,  one  should  proceed  in  the  saine  way  as  we  have  stated  for  shipments  of 
merchandise  by  freight,  the  only  difference  being  that  Bill  of  Lading  and  Policy 
of  Insurance  are  not  necessary.     Bill  of  Lading  is  not  needed  because  one  does

The  following  form  of  Consular  Inyoiee  should  be  used  for  shipments  by 
mail : 

St.  Louis,  Mo., 191 

Factura  de  mercancia  embarcada  por 

(Invoice  of  merchandise  shipped  by)   

con    destino    &

(Sent  by  Mail) 

The  remainder  of  form  same  as  for  shipments  by  freight 

The  heading  of  this  form  for  shipments  by  mail  is  filled  in  the  same  way 
as  shipments  by  freight,  with  the  exception  where  it  says  "embareado  por  fer- 
roearril".  substitute  the  phrase  "Embareado  por  eorreo"  (sent  by  mail),  after 
whieh  phra.se  write  the  number  of  paekages.  and  the  remainder  of  form  is 
filled  ill  exactly  as  for  shipments  of  merehandise  by  freight. 

In  ease  there  is  no  Cuban  Consul  in  the  locality  where  the  .shipper  is  h)- 
cated,  and  the  merchandise  is  sent  by  mail,  then  send  to  the  Agent  or  Person 
residing  at  the  port  adjoining  the  place  from  where  shipment  is  made,  the  re- 
ceipt given  by  the  Post  Office,  in  virtue  of  which  it  is  evident  that  the  shipment 
has  been  made,  and  send  with  the  receipt  the  corresponding  copies  as  already 
explained  in  sp«mking  of  goods  shipped  by  freight. 

MERCHANDISE    SHIPPED     BY    EXPRESS. 

When  the  goods  are  shipped  by  Express,  it  is  more  ditlieult  to  give  a  clear 
rule  in  regard  to  the  form  of  the  Consular  Invoice,  as  the  Express  Companies 
have  their  established  rules,  and  it  is  difficult  to  make  the  Agent  understand 
them  in  a  different  way,  and  up  to  a  certain  point  the  Agent  of  the  Express 
Company  has  to  fulfill  the  instructions  of  his  supt'rior. 

Therefore,  will  say  that  in  case  of  making  shipments  by  Express,  the  best 
thing  to  do  is  to  obtain  the  desired  information  from  the  Express  Agent.  1  am 
stating  this  because  these  re(|uirenients  change  from  time  to  time,  and  all  that 
may  be  said  now,  perhaps  later  on  would  be  incorrect.

CONSULAR   FEES:

ulate  of  Cuba  for  certification  of  the  Consular  Invoice:

T  is  (initc  outside  tho  scope  of  this  book  to  ^^\\v  coinplctc  instruc- 
tions in  the  nmttcr  of  International  Credits  and  Colh'etions.  and 
it  ean  he  mentioned  iiere  only  in  the  most  elementary  way  for  the 
^^.T^v::^  benefit  of  the  mannfaeturer  who  has  never  engaged  in  the  ex- 
port trade  and  is  not  familiar  with  the  subjeet.  , 

In  treneral.  payment  is  made  under  one  of  tlie  plans,  whieh  are  arran^'.d 
below  according  to  the  degree  of  safety  offered  by  each.  "We  begin  with  th< 
one  which  offers  to  the  exporter  the  most  security,  and  wind  up  wiih  the  one 
that  offers  him  the  least  security  for  payment  of  the  amounts  due  him.: 

1.  ra\nient  in  ad\ance. 

2.  Cash  against  letter  of  credit. 

•"1  Sight  draft  with  documents  attached. 

4.  Tim<'  draft  with  docuinents  attachiHl, 

5.  Clean  draft. 

6.  Open  account. 

Payment  in  advance  can  generally  be  exacted  only  by  the  manufacturer 
of  specialties,  or  goods  selling  for  small  amounts  only.  or.  when  abnormal  con- 
ditions cause  a  much  heavier  demand  than  the  supply  will  cover,  or  when  tin- 
purchaser's  tinancial  standinu'  is  not  established,  etc. 

Cash  against  letter  of  credit  means  that  the  purchaser  has  made  arrange- 
ments  with  a  bank,  generally  in  the  country  of  the  exporter,  but  .sometimes 
also,  especially  in  the  case  of  large  financial  centers  as  London,  etc.,  with  a 
))aidv  in  tiie  country  of  the  importer,  to  tiie  effect  that  tht>  bank  will  honor  the 
draft  of  the  exporter  up  to  a  certain  amount,  provided  certain  conditions  are 
fulfilled.  These  conditions  generally  consi.st  in  presenting  within  a  specified 
lime  the  docuiuents  showing  that  c«'rtain  goods  ordered  by  the  purchaser  have 
been  shipped  to  him.  This  insures  to  the  exporter  the  getting  of  his  money  im- 
mediately upon  shipment,  and  generally  means  that  the  baidc  has  no  recourse 
on  the  exporter  and  it  amounts  to  the  same  thing  as  if  the  purcha.ser  himself 
handed  the  cash  to  the  manufacturer  as  soon  as  thi;  goods  leave  the  factorv 
or  warehouse. 

Sight  draft  with  documents  attached,  means  that  the  bills  of  lading,  in- 


—  87  — 


surance  certificates,  and  other  documents  whose  possession  confers  the  title  to 
the  goods,  are  attached  to  a  draft  drawn  upon  the  purchaser  payable   "at 
sight."     These  documents  with  the  draft  are  either  turned  in  for  collection  or 
negotiated  with  a  local  bank,  or  a  bank  in  the  country  of  the  purchaser,  or  sent 
to  an  agent  or  a  branch  house  in  the  purchaser's  locality.     Having  reached  the 
purchaser's  locality,  the  draft  is  presented  to  the  purchaser  for  payment  and 
upon  the  amount  of  same  being  paid,  the  documents  conferring  title  to  the 
shipment  are  turned  over  to  him.     In  negotiating  such  a  draft  through   his 
local  bank,  the  manufacturer  or  exporter  will  immediately  come  in  possession 
of  the  funds,  the  same  as  he  does  when  he  draws  on  a  bank  against  a  letter  of 
credit  as  mentioned  in  the  preceding  paragraph.     The  main  difference,  how- 
ever, between  these  two  modes  of  payment,   as  far  as  the  manufacturer   js 
concerned,    consists   in   the    degree    of   responsibility   for   the    shipment,    i.    e. 
whereas  his  responsibility  ceases  when  payment  is  made  to  him  against  a  letter 
of  credit,  and  that  money  is  his  absolutely,  —  in  the  case  of  a  sight  draft  with 
documents  attached   (even  though  negotiated  by  a  bank  in  his  own  city)  his 
responsibility  does  not  cease  until  after  the  draft  is  paid  by  the  purchaser,  and 
should  the  purchaser  refuse  to  honor  the  draft  upon  presentation  to  him,  the 
loss  occasioned  through  a  forced  sale  of  the  goods,  or  through  a  reshipment. 
etc.,  must  be  borne  by  the  manufacturer,  who  must  also  refund  to  his  bank  the 
amount  paid  him  when  the  draft  was  negotiated.     The  amount  paid  against 
such  a  draft  by  the  manufacturer's  local  bank  will  vary  depending  not  only 
on  the  character  of  the  goods  as  invoiced,  but  also  on  the  responsibility  of  the 
manufacturer   or   seller,    and   on    any    other   considerations   which    affect   the 
degree  of  risk  which  the  bank  is  running  of  getting  its  money  back  in  ease  the 
draft  is  not  paid  upon  presentation.     Thus  there  will  be  encountered  cases, 
where  the  full,  or  almost  full  amount  of  the  draft  will  be  advanced  by  the 
bank  who  negotiates  the  draft,  in  other  cases  only  a  partial  amount. 

A  draft  drawn  at  30,  60,  90  days  or  more  days  after  sight,  a  time  draft 
with  documents  attached,  means  that  upon  arrival  at  its  destination,  the  draft 
is  presented  for  acceptance  by  the  purchaser,  and  upon  being  accepted  Iiy  him, 
the  documents  are  generally  turned  over  to  him.  When  the  draft  becomes  due 
and  is  collected,  the  proceeds  are  then  remitted  either  directly  to  the  exporter, 
or.  if  he  has  negotiated  the  draft  with  his  local  bank,  or  another  bank  in  his 
country,  the  proceeds  are  remitted  to  that  bank.  In  this  case  the  manufacturer 
or  seller  of  the  goods  takes  not  only  the  risks  incidental  to  the  transaction  ex- 
plained in  the  preceding  paragraph,  but  also  the  risk  of  obtaining  his  money 
when  the  draft  is  due.  In  determining  the  amount  of  such  a  draft,  there  must 
not  only  be  taken  into  consideration  the  cash  price  of  the  goods  and  the  amount 
of  shipping  charges,  insurance  charges,  etc.  advanced,  but  to  this  there  must 
be  added  the  interest  on  the  amount  for  the  time  it  takes  the  draft  to  get  to 


the  purchaser's  locality,  the  Tinnilxr  of  days  it  has  to  run  before  payment  is 
due,  and  the  number  of  days  it  takes  for  the  proceeds  of  tln'  draft  to  reach 
the  locality  of  the  seller.  Instead  of  bein»;  drawn  at  a  certain  nuinl)er  of  days 
after  sijjlit,  a  draft  may  be  drawn  at  a  certain  nund)er  of  days  after  date, 
which,  however,  is  rarely  done. 

A  '■(•lean  draft"  is  drawn,  wlici'e  the  documents  are  sent  to  tlie  piu'chaser 
without  the  draft  attached,  and  title  to  tin-  ^oods.  or  at  least  possession  of 
same,  is  transferred  to  the  purihasrr  indej)endently  of  the  acceptance  or  pay- 
ment of  the  draft. 

Sellinw  in  "open  acount"  exists  whei-c  the  .seller  sends  the  groods  to  the 
purchaser  without  di-awioLr  on  him  immediately,  merely  chartjing  his  aci-ount 
with  the  amount  in  nmch  the  same  manner  as  sending  goods  on  "open  credit" 
to  anyone  in  his  own  count i'\'.  This  is,  of  course,  the  most  risky  mode  of  pro- 
cedure, and  entails  even  more  of  a  risk  than  a  "clean  draft"  ina.snuich  as  a 
purchaser,  may,  in  ease  he  finds  himself  short  of  money,  prefer  to  pay  drafts 
coming  due  at  a  certain  date,  rather  than  "open  accounts"  in  order  to  keep 
his  credit  good  with  his  local  bank  who  ])resents  the  drafts  for  payment. 

As  to  which  one  of  the  modes  of  colh'ction  mentioned  above  to  follow,  re- 
mains a  matter  which  nnist  be  decided  in  accordance  with  the  circnmstances 
of  each  case,  the  custom  in  a  certain  country,  or  in  a  cei'tain  line  of  goods  or 
manufactures,  etc.  As  to  "open  credit",  although  it  is  naturally  easier  to 
enforce  payment  in  nearby  countries,  such  as  Cuba.  Canada,  the  West  Indies, 
and  under  normal  conditions  in  ^lexico,  ete..  it  should  nevertheless  be  borne 
in  mind  that  the  granting  of  "open  i-redit  "  may  result  very  disastrously  for 
the  maiuifacturer  or  seller,  unless  he  has  through  jiersonai  experience  or  the 
mc^st  reliable  information  satisfied  himself  as  to  the  i-eliabilitv  and  integrity 
of  the  purchaser. 

If  the  manufacturer  or  seller  has  had  no  experience  in  this  line,  he  should 
get  assistance  in  deternuning  his  course,  from  reliable  l)a!d<ing  houses,  mer- 
cantile agencies,  reliable  references  furnished  by  the  purchaser  etc.  Tlie  pub- 
lishers of  this  b(Hd<  are  at  all  tim»'S  willing  to  render  any  such  assistaiu'c  as 
their  rich  experience  enables  them  to  furnish. 

For  more  detailed  information  in  regard  to  Credits  and  Collections  we 
refer  to  works  published  on  the  subject,  and  are.  \\\)ou  re(|ue.st.  cheerfully  will- 
ing to  reconunend  such  works  as  are.  in  our  opinion,  most  suitable  for  a  cer- 
tain enterprise. 

In  this  connection  it  is  to  l)e  noted  that  the  matter  of  obtaining  reliable 
credit  information  on  customers  in  Latin  American  countries  has  been  steadily 
growing  in  importance  and  is  now  receiving  a  good  deal  of  attention. 

Considering  the  proximity  of  the  Island  of  Cuba,  and  the  total  volume  of 

—  89  — 


business  between  Cuba  and  the  United  States,  it  is  easily  understood  why 
credit  information  on  Cuban  customers  is,  in  most  cases,  more  readily  ob- 
tainable and  much  more  reliable  than  credit  information  on  customers  in  most 
of  the  other  Latin  American  Countries.  Many  banks  in  the  United  States,  as 
well  as  Credit  Associations,  and  mercantile  agencies  are  in  a  position  to  fur- 
nish reliable  information  on  a  Cuban  importer  or  the  information  may  be  ob- 
tained with  very  little  loss  of  time  from  Cuban  Banks.  In  this  connection,  it 
is  worthy  of  notice  that  the  National  City  Bank  of  New  York  maintains  a 
branch  office  in  Havana. 

From  personal  observation  the  author  of  the  present  volume  takes  plea.sure 
in  saying  that  credit  losses  in  Cuba  are,  as  a  rule,  less  than  even  in  the  United 
States.  This  applies  to  practically  all  of  Latin  America;  as  an  authority 
whose  verdict  in  this  matter  carries  weight,  the  author  takes  the  liberty  to 
quote  the  "Chicago  Association  of  Credit  Men";  in  a  pamphlet  called  "Foreign 
Trade  Suggestions  by  the  Chicago  Association  of  Credit  ^fen  —  Latin  America. 
1916"  the  Foreign  Credits  Committee  of  that  Association  says:  "Losses  in 
Latin  America  we  find  are  less  than  in  the  United  States."

LETTERS. 

It  is  sufficient  to  pay  two  cents  (2c)  per  ounce  on  uiu-h  letter  sunt  to  tho 
Ropuhlic  of  Cuba, 

In  fjeneral,  everything  that  is  desired  to  be  sent  as  first  class  matter  re- 
quires two  cents  (2e)  per  ounce. 

PRINTED  MATTER   AND  CIRCULARS. 

EverAthinj;  tliat  is  desired  to  be  sent  as  printed  matter  or  eirenlars  re- 
•  inires  one  cent  (Ic)  for  each  two  (2)  ounces,  or  fraction  thereof.  It  is  l)oth 
interesting  and  useful  to  note  tiiat  printed  circulars  sent  llirough  the  mails 
which  are  the  same  in  form  and  contents,  may  be  signed  with  pen  and  ink  witli- 
ont  Ix'ing  snbject  to  the  first-class  r.ite. 

NEWSPAPERS. 

One  cent  (Ic)  for  four  (4)  ounces  is  the  charge  on  newspapers,  provided 
that  comi)lete  copies  are  sent. 

REGISTERED   MAIL. 

All  regi!5tered  mail  is  subject  to  an  extra  charge  of  ten  cents  (10c).  When 
sending  a  regi.stered  letter  or  package,  it  is  always  best  to  reciuest  a  return  re- 
ceipt, so  as  to  be  certain  that  the  addressee  has  received  the  letter  or  package, 
and  cannot  put  up  the  excuse  of  not  having  received  i1.  Tnless  re(|U<>sted  at 
the  time  of  mailing,  no  return  receipt  is  furnislnnl  now  by  the  postal  authori- 
ties. 

PARCEL  POST. 

The  use  of  the  Parcel  Post  Service  with  the  Republic  of  ('ub;i  is  as  con- 
venient and  satisfactory'  as  within  the  United  States  of  America. 

It  is  only  neces.sary  to  observe  the  following  regulations: 

Weight:  Xot  to  exceed  four  (4)  pounds  and  six  (6)  ounces. 

Size:  Should  not  exceed  eighty-four  (84)  inches  combined  in  length  and 
girth. 

Insurance:  Cannot  be  insured. 

Registry:    Can  be  rej^isli-red  for  ten  cents  (10c)  (>xtra. 
Postage:  Twelve  cents  (12c)  per  pound  or  fraction  thereof. 

—  91  — 


SAMPLES. 

"When  samples  are  sent  to  the  Republic  of  Cuba,  one  must  ascertain  the 
weight  of  each  package  of  samples  not  to  exceed  twelve  (12)  ounces  as  the 
maximum  limit,  paying  two  cents  (2e)  for  four  (4)  ounces  or  less,  and  one 
cent  (Ic)  for  each  additional  two  ounces. 

PROHIBITED  MATTER. 

In  regard  to  this  particular,  the  same  laws  prevail  as  in  the  United  States 
of  North  America,  that  is  to  say,  it  is  prohibited  to  send  poisons,  inflammable 
material  and  intoxicating  matter,  nor  can  oily  and  fatty  substances  be  sent 
by  Parcel  Post  to  Cuba,  except  as  samples.  None  of  the  articles  prohibited  by 
the  Cuban  tariff,  can,  of  course,  be  imported  bj^  mail  or  otherwise.  In  order 
to  be  sure  of  one's  ground,  it  is  advisable  to  consult  the  local  Post  Master  in 
regard  to  legislation  covering  this  particular. 

MONEY  ORDERS. 

Of  immense  advantage  to  the  firm,  that  does  a  direct  mail  order  business 
with  the  consumer  in  articles  that  are  not  readily  obtained  by  the  Cuban  in 
his  own  stores,  remains  the  splendid  money  order  arrangement  between  the 
United  States  and  Cuba.  Direct  money  orders  from  all  places,  designated  as 
money  order  offices  in  the  list  below,  can  be  obtained  on  any  money  order 
office  in  the  United  States.  We  know  from  personal  observation  that  many 
mail  order  concerns  in  the  United  States,  are,  as  a  result  of  these  money  order 
facilities,  reaping  a  rich  harvest  of  Cuban  dollars,  and  the  field  has,  in  our 
opinion,  hardly  been  scratched  yet.

Cable  Rules. 


-.••o.*- 


«fe- 


HE  importanco  of  the  cable  service  in  tlie  dcvi-lopiiu-nt  of  iiiU-r- 
natioiial  eoinineree  is  becoming  from  clay  to  day  more  apparent. 
With  a  view  to  increasing  the  usefulness  of  this  book  beyond  the 
•j^^ilibi'.i^J  scope  wliich  might  l)e  inferred  from  its  title,  wc  bring  herewith 
not  only  specific  and  important  information  regarding  the  exchange  of  cabj'^- 
grams  hctwcfn  this  country  and  Cuba,  but  have  also  copied  to  a  liberal  (ex- 
tent the  general  cable  rules  and  rates  which  the  Western  Union  Telegraph 
Company  have  so  kindly  furnished  us.  We  take  advantage  of  this  opportunity 
to  thank  Mr.  E.  F.  Koe.  whose  never  tiring  kindness  has  enabled  us  to  fill  this 
part  of  the  book  with  valuable  and  accurate  information.  The  latest  changes 
in  rates,  rules  and  regulations  concerning  the  cable  service  can  be  obtained 
from  the  records  of  the  branch  offices  of  the  Telegraph  Companies. 

RULES   APPLICABLE   TO    FULL   RATE   CABLEGRAMS. 

For  conditions  other  than  the  following,  under  which  full  rate  cable  mes- 
sages are  accepted  for  transmission,  see  the  printed  headings  of  the  message 
forms. 

mkssa(;ks  must  be  prkpaid. 

Every  message  must  be  prepaid,  unless  otherwise  specially  authoriz<'d,  ard 
all  words  in  the  address,  text  and  signature  must  be  counted  a»id  charged  for. 
No  charge  is  made  for  the  transmission  of  the  name  of  the  originating  office. 

ADDRESSES. 

In  the  address  of  any  message,  the  name  of  the  office  of  destination,  tlic 
name  of  the  country  and  tlie  name  of  the  territorial  subdivision  (if  any)  of 
the  country  of  destination  are  each  couuted  as  one  word,  no  matter  how  many 
letters  are  employed. 

The  address  of  evei-y  message  must  consist  of  at  b  ast  two  words,  the  first 
indicating  the  name  of  the  receiver  and  the  second  the  name  of  the  office  of 
destination. 

The  .sender  is  responsible  for  an  incorrect  or  insutficient  address.  Correc- 
tions and  alterations  can  only  be  niaile  liy  a  paid  s«'rvice  message. 

Messages  addressed  to  the  care  of  a  registered  address  are  accepted  only 
at  the  risk  of  the  sender  unh'ss  the  words  "care"  or  "care  of",  or  their  equi- 

—  113  — 


alent,  be  placed  between  the  addressee's  name,  and  the  registered  address; 
thus  a  message  for  "Meyer,  Berlin,"  to  be  delivered  to  the  registered  address 
"Dervish,  Berlin,"  should  be  addressed  "Meyer,  care  (or  'care  of)  Dervish, 
Berlin." 

If  an  indication  of  any  particular  route  be  given  by  the  sender  and  its 
transmission  is  considered  necessary  by  the  company,  it  will  be  forwarded  free. 
Such  indication,  when  given,  must  be  transmitted  immediately  after  the  ad 
dress,  that  is,  as  a  part  of  the  address,  and  before  the  text  of  the  message. 

Messages  destined  for  places  beyond  the  lines  of  telegraph  must  contain 
the  name  of  the  place  from  which  they  are  to  be  posted  or  otherwise  delivered. 
The  requisite  instructions  in  such  cases  must  be  inserted  as  a  part  of  the  ad- 
dress, and  must  be  paid  for. 

PLAIN  LANGUAGE  MESSAGES. 

Plain  language  rm  ssages  (i.  e.,  neither  Code  nor  Cipher)  may  be  written 
in  any  language  that  can  be  expressed  in  Roman  letters.  In  su'h  messages 
each  word  of  fifteen  letters  or  less  is  counted  as  a  word,  and  words  of  over 
fifteen  letters  are  counted  at  the  rate  of  fifteen  letters  or  fractions  of  fifteen 
letters  to  a  word. 

CODE  MESSAGES. 

Code  messages  may  contain  words  belonging  to  one  or  more  of  the  fol- 
lowing languages:  English,  French,  German,  Italian,  Dutch,  Portugu<^se, 
Spanish  and  liatin.  The  use  of  words  of  other  languages  is  not  allowed.  Code 
messages  may  also  contain  artificial  words  —  that  is,  groups  of  letters  so  com- 
bined as  to  be  pronounceable  in  at  least  one  of  the  eight  admitted  languages. 
In  code  messages  each  code  word  (whether  genuine  or  artificial)  of  ten  letters 
or  less  is  counted  as  a  word,  and  no  code  word  of  more  than  ten  letters  can 
be  accepted.  If  any  words  in  plain  language,  and  of  more  than  ten  letters 
each,  are  used  in  code  messages,  they  should  be  counted  at  the  rate  of  ten 
letters  or  fraction  of  ten  letters  to  a  word, 

CIPHER  MESSAGES. 

In  cipher  messages,  which  may  be  composed  of  groups  of  figures  or  of 
groups  of  letters,  the  groups  are  counted  at  the  rate  of  five  figures  or  letters, 
or  fraction  thereof,  to  a  word.  Words  in  plain  language  inserted  in  such  mes- 
sages are  counted  as  in  plain  language  messages, 

COUNTING  OF  WORDS,  ETC. 

When  the  letters  "ch"  come  together  in  the  spelling  of  a  dictionary  word, 
they  are  counted  as  one  letter.  In  artificial  words  the  combination  is  counted 
as  two  letters. 

—  114  — 


Inverted  eomnias.  tlie  two  si<;ns  of  the  parenthesis  and  each  separate  figure, 
letter,  underline  or  eiiaraeter  will  be  counted  as  one  word. 

Signs  of  punctuation,  hyphens  and  apostrophes  are  not  counted  oi-  sen) 
except  upon  formal  demand  of  the  sender,  in  which  case  they  will  be  chargeil 
for  as  one  word  each. 

Groups  of  figures  will  be  counted  and  charged  for  at  the  rate  of  five  figures, 
or  fraction  thereof,  as  one  word.     Decimal  points  and  commas,  used  in  the  for 
niation  of  numbers,  also  bars  of  division  and  letters  added  to  figures  to  form 
ordinal  numbers,  are  to  be  counted  as  figures  and  charged  for  at  the  rate  of 
five  figures,  or  fraction  thereof,  as  one  word. 

Words  joined  by  a  hyplien  or  separated  by  an  apostrophe  are  counted  as 
so  many  separate  words. 

Abbreviated  and  misspelled  words  and  illegitimate  compound  words  and 
words  combined  in  a  manner  contrary  to  the  usages  of  any  of  the  right 
authorized  languages,  are  inadmissible. 

The  following  examples  will  determine  the  interpretation  of  the  rules  to 

be  followed  in  counting:

REPETITIONS. 

At  the  time  of  filing  a  message  the  sender  may  order  it  repeated,  upon 
pajonent  of  a  quarter  of  the  full  rate  in  addition  to  the  ordinary  tolls,  in 
which  case  the  various  relay  offices  en  route  repeat  it  to  each  other  as  it 
passes.  The  words  "REPETITION  PAID",  or  the  indication  "T.  C",  must 
be  inserted  immediately  after  the  address;  that  is,  as  a  part  of  the  address 
and  before  the  text,  and  must  be  charged  for;  and  in  addition  to  this,  the 
words  "REPEAT  BACK"  must  be  included  in  the  check,  but  Avill  not  be 
charged  for.  Such  messages  must  be  carefully  repeated  back  from  each  re- 
lay through  which  they  pass.     The  indication  "T.  C."  counts  as  one  word. 

If  repetition  of  a  doubtful  word  or  words  be  requested  by  the  addressee 
of  a  message,  the  same  may  be  procured  by  free  service  message  to  the  office 
at  which  the  message  reached  our  lines,  or  to  the  CABLE  DEPARTMENT, 
New  York.  In  such  service  message  the  doubtful  word  or  words  as  received 
must  be  given  for  comparison  with  the  Cable  office  copy. 

Every  message  exchanged  between  two  telegraph  offices  to  rectify  a  mis- 
take of  the  sender  will  be  charged  for  at  fuU  rates. 

ACKNOWLEDGMENT  OF  RECEIPT. 

The  sender  maj'^  request  that  advice  of  the  date  and  time  at  which  his  mes- 
sage is  delivered  to  the  addressee,  or  when  posted  to  destination  the  date  and 
time  handed  to  the  Post  Office,  be  transmitted  to  him  by  telegraph  or  Postal 
Card.  The  words  ' '  ACKNOWLEDGMENT  PAID ' ',  or  the  indication  " P.  C. ", 
if  notice  is  to  be  given  by  telegraph,  or  "P.  C.  P.",  if  notice  is  to  be  given  by 
Postal  Card,  besides  being  transmitted  in  the  check  free,  must  be  inserted  im- 
mediately after  the  address,  and  must  be  charged  for.  The  indications  "P.  C." 
and  P.  C.  P."  count  each  as  one  word. 

The  charge  for  a  telegraphic  "acknowledgment  of  receipt"  is  equal  to  thai 
for  a  message  of  five  words  to  same  destination  by  same  route. 

—  116  — 


PIJKPAII)  KKPLIKS. 

The  sender  of  a  mossafje  may  i)ay  for  a  reply.  The  indieatioii  "R.  P." 
(meaning  Kei)ly  J*ai(l),  together  with  the  niiniher  of  words  prepaid,  must  he 
iiiserti'd  imiiifdiately  before  the  address,  that  is,  as  a  part  of  the  address,  and 
must  be  charged  for.  The  indieation  "R.  P.  5",  "R.  P.  10",  ''R-  !*•  14",  etc., 
counts  as  one  word. 

When  aeeepting  a  message  for  whieli  a  rei)ly  has  been  prepaid,  the  orig- 
inating offiee  must  colh'et.  in  addition  to  the  charges  therefor,  the  full  charges 
for  the  reply  as  indicated. 

The  sender  of  sm  h  a  message  should  understand  that  the  tolls  paid  for  the 
reply  is  not  a  deposit,  l)u1  is  practically  a  remittance  to  his  correspondent,  to 
whom  the  foreign  telegraph  administrations  deliver  with  the  message  a  voucher 
specifying  the  amount  and  number  of  words  paid  for,  which  voucher  CTititles 
him  to  send  free  of  charge,  within  the  limits  of  the  amount  prepaid,  a  telegraiu 
to  any  destijuition  whatever,  and  from  any  office  of  the  administration  whose 
office  i.ssued  the  voucher.  To  recover  the  amount  paid  for  a  prepaid  reply,  wheu 
no  such  reply  is  received,  the  sender  must  arrange  with  his  correspondent  to  re- 
turn the  aforesaid  vom-hcr  to  the  office  of  issue,  with  the  information  that  no 
reply  has  been  or  will  bt^  sent,  and  with  the  request  that  the  amount  named 
therein  be  returned  to  the  sender.  The  recjuest  for  refund  must  be  in  the  haiuls 
of  the  administration  of  destination  within  three  months  from  the  date  of  issue 
of  the  voucher.  Otherwise  the  claim  will  not  be  entertained  by  the  administra- 
tion concerned. 

Replies  from  foreign  countries  to  R.  P.  messages  originating  in  the  United 
States  are  always  received  checked  "paid",  as  foreign  administrations  treat 
them  not  as  collect  replies  but  as  paid  messages.  R.  P.  charges  can  be  refunded 
(»nly  when  authorized  as  j)er  section  on  "Refunds." 

When  an  answer  to  a  Reply  Paid  nu'ssage  from  abroad  is  offered  it  will  be 
forwarded  checked  "Collect  reply",  with  proper  reference  to  the  particular 
message  to  which  it  is  an  answer.  Should  the  reply  contain  more  than  the 
number  of  words  prepaid,  the  sender  of  the  answer  nuist  pay  for  the  excess. 

Ppon  the  receii)t  of  a  message  to  which  a  reply  has  been  prepaid,  the 
delivery  clerk  will  write  under  the  message,  before  delivery,  the  words  "Re- 
ply of words  paid  for." 

NO\-l)FLI\  KHV. 

^Vhcn  a  message  cannot  ho  delivered  a  report  of  non-di  livery  must  be 
made  by  a  service  message  to  Cable  Department.  New  ^'oI•k.  or  to  the  office 
at  which  the  message  reached  our  lines.  Such  report  of  non-delivery  must 
give  the  address  of  the  message  as  received,  and  state  the  reason  for  non- 
delivery.     In  case  a  me.s.sage  is  delivered  to  an  address  differing  from  the  ad- 

—  117  — 


dress  as  received,  or  if  a  messap:e  which  has  been  reported  undelivered  should 
subsequently  be  delivered,  the  facts  must  be  reported  as  above. 

REFUNDS. 

No  claim  will  be  entertained  for  refund  of  tolls  on  messages  exchanged 
directly  between  receivers  and  senders,  to  obtain  corrections. 

Claims  for  refund  of  amounts  deposited  for  replies  or  for  balances  of 
amounts,  in  eases  where  the  number  of  words  in  the  reply  is  less  than  the  num- 
ber prepaid,  and  all  complaints  respecting  irregularity  in  the  transmission  or 
delivery  of  messages,  must  be  referred  to  the  Manager  of  the  Cable  Bunviu

in  writing,  from  the  office  of  destination  or  from  the  addressee,  to  the  effect 
that  the  message  has  not  been  delivered;  and  in  the  case  of  delay,  omission  or

DEFERRED   CABLEGRAMS. 

Deferred  messages  are  subject  to  transmission  at  the  convenience  of  t!ie 
company  when  the  cables  are  free  of  full-paid  traffic.     They  must  bear  the 
prefix  LCO  (language  country  of  origin),  LCD  (language  country  of  destina- 
tion)  or  LCF   (language  country  French),  WRITTEN   BEFORE   THE  AD 
DRESS,  which  indication  must  be  counted  and  charged  for. 

Messages  taken  at  Deferred  Rates  must  be  written  in  plain  language  of  the 
country  of  origin  or  destination,  or  they  may  be  written  in  French  as  a  univer- 
sal language.  The  use  of  more  than  one  language  in  the  same  message  is  not 
permitted,  and  code  words  and  arbitrary  trade  terms  are  excluded,  although 
code  addresses  may  be  employed. 

Numbers,  except  in  addresses,  must  be  Avritten  in  words  spelled  out. 

Except  as  above  the  regular  rules  for  the  counting  and  charging  of  cable 
messages,  and  the  general  conditions  appertaining  to  the  cable  service,  apply 
to  Deferred  cables. 

The  tariff  on  Deferred  cablegrams  is  one-half  the  regular  rates,  except  that 
on  messages  destined  to  points  in  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  it  is  3  cents  per 
word  less  than  half  regular  rates.  From  points  having  a  25  cents  tariff  to 
London  the  deferred  rate  to  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  is  9  cents  per  Avord. 

A  reply  to  a  Deferred  plain-language  message  may  be  prepaid,  but  the  in- 
struction must  be  expressed  in  terms  of  full  rates.  The.  indication  RP,  in- 
cluding the  number  of  words  paid  for  at  full  rates,  should  be  counted  and 
charged  for  as  one  word.

EUROPEAN    AND    CUBAN    GABLE    LETTERS. 

This  form  of  service  is  predicated  upon  the  use  of  cable  facilities  at  tiiros 
when  they  would  otherwise  be  unemployed,  and  is  designed  primarily  for  a 
class  of  plain-language  business  and  social  communications  which  should  not 
be  subjected  to  the  oversea  mail's  delay,  but  are  not  of  sufficient  urgency  and 
importance  to  warrant  payment  of  full  cable  tolls  on  the  same. 

Unlike  the  Regular  Full  Rate  Fast  Service  and  the  Deferred  Service,  whi<^h 
are  on  a  word  basis,  Cable  Letter  tolls  are  based  on  an  initial  minimum  charge 
covering  a  given  number  of  words,  plus  added  charges  for  excess  words.  Tlie 
messages  themselves  are  subject  to  transmission  at  the  company's  convenience 
and  have  a  fixed  time  of  delivery.  Eastbound  European  Cable  Letters  prefixed 
CLT  are  delivered  at  noon  the  following  day.  Westbound  European  Cablo 
Letters  are  deliverable  during  the  morning  of  the  following  day.  Cuban  Cable 
Letters  are  deliverable  within  24  hours  after  filing.  At  date  of  publication 
direct  Cable  Letter  Service  is  in  operation  only  to  Great  Britain  and  Ireland, 
Holland,  Belgium  and  Cuba.     Cable  Letters  for  European  countries  other  than

Except  as  above,  the  regidar  rules  for  the  counting  and  chargitig  of  cable 
messages  and  the  general  conditions  appertaining  to  the  cable  service  apply 
to  Cable  Letters. 

A  reply  to  a  Cable  Letter  may  be  prepaid,  l)ut  the  instruction  must  be  ex 
pressed  in  terms  of  full  rates.  For  example:  If  the  sender  of  a  Cable  Letter 
wishes  to  prepay  a  Cable  Letter  reply  of  13  words  at  the  75  cents  rate,  the  i'l- 
structions  to  be  written  before  the  name  and  address  should  be  RP3.  The  in- 
dication RP,  including  the  number  of  words  paid  for  at  full  rates,  should  be 
oounti'd  and  charged  for  as  oiw  word.

TRANS-OCEAN    WIRELESS    SERVICE. 

Messages  for  points  in  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  offered  for  wireless 
trans-ocean  transmission  by  patrons  of  the  Marconi  Wireless  Telegraph  Com- 
pany, may  be  accepted  subject  to  all  the  rules  for  counting  and  the  general 
conditions  applicable  to  cable  messages,  and  at  the  rates  published  in  following 
table.  Such  trans-ocean  wireless  messages  should  preferably  be  written  on  the 
special  "^Mareonigram"  blanks  supplied  for  that  purpose,  and  they  must  in  all 
cases  be  prefixed  "Marconi."  This  prefix  must  be  transmitted,  but  not  counted 
or  charged  for. 

Wireless  letters  and  week-end  letters  may  be  accepted  for  Honolulu  on  the 
same  conditions  of  count  and  service  and  with  the  same  prefixes  as  cable  aud 
week-end  letters.  The  prefix  "Marconi"  is  not  necessary  on  wireless  letters 
to  Ilonolulu. 

All  trans-Atlantic  wireless  messages  must  be  prepaid. 

Paid-Here  trans-ocean  wireless  messages,  destined  to  points  in  Great  Britain 
and  Ireland,  and  wireless  letters  and  week-end  letters  to  Honolulu,  should  be 
accounted  for  in  the  same  manner  as  cable  business,  the  revenue  to  be  included 
with  Cable  Tolls  on  monthly  Form  4  or  similar  report  provided. 

The  same  provision  for  prepaid  replies  to  trans-ocean  wireless  messages  may 
be  made  as  for  prepaid  replies  to  cablegrams,  but  in  the  case  of  wireless  trans- 
ocean  messages  the  amount  for  the  prepaid  reply  must  be  expressed  in  terms  of 
the  full  wireless  rate  instead  of  the  full  cable  rate. 

Upon  receipt  of  a  trans-ocean  wireless  message  to  which  a  reply  has  been 
prepaid  the  delivery  clerk  will  write  under  the  message,  before  delivery,  the 

words:   "Reply  to  the  value  of _ _ paid  for"  and  will  arrive  at 

the  amount  expressed  as  prepaid  by  calculating  the  tolls  at  full  wireless  rate  on 
the  number  of  words  in  the  RP  indication.

one-half  the  above  word  rates. 


RADIO  MESSAGES  TO  AND   FROM   SHIPS  AT   SEA. 

Messages  for  wireless  transmission  to  ships  at  sea  may  be  accepted  via  any 
of  the  coastal  stations  published  in  the  accompanying  lists.  All  such  messages 
must  be  prepaid  except  such  as  are  covered  by  next  to  last  paragraph  of  these 
instructions. 

The  senders  of  ship  radio  messages  must  write  in  the  address,  in  addition 
to  the  name  of  the  addressee,  the  name  of  the  ship  and  of  the  coastal  station 
through  which  the  same  shall  be  reached.  Employees  will  assist  senders,  with- 
out responsibility  for  the  correctness  of  the  information,  in  determining  by 
}neans  of  sailing  lists  supplied  by  the  Wireless  Companies  the  proper  coastal 
station  to  be  employed.  In  general,  it  may  be  said  that  trans- Atlantic  steamers 
may  be  communicated  with  before  arrival  or  after  departure  via  coastal  stations 
as  follows:

Patents  and  Trade  Marks. 


a)  PATENTS. 

HE  formalities  to  be  observed  in  applying  for  a  patent  on  an  inven- 
tion in  the  Republic  of  Cuba  are  of  two  classes,  depending  on 
whether  the  article  has  been  patented  in  the  United  States  of 
America,  or  whether  it  has  not  been  so  patented.  —  In  the  former 
ease,  power  of  attorney  must  be  given  to  an  attorney  practicing  in  tlie  Island 
of  Cuba,  and  this  power  of  attorney  must  be  certified  by  a  Notary  Public 
whose  signature  must  be  certified  by  the  Clerk  of  the  respective  Circuit  Court, 
and  by  the  Cuban  Consul. 

This  power  of  attorney  must  be  accompanied  by  a  certified  copy  of  the 
patent  issued  by  the  Government  of  the  United  States  of  America.  The 
charge  for  this  certified  copy  is  80  cents. 

Where  application  is  made  in  Cuba  for  a  patent  on  an  invention,  which 
is  not  patented  in  the  United  States,  the  cost  of  the  patent  varies  according 
to  the  complexity  of  the  patent,  i.  e.,  according  to  the  amount  of  work  neces- 
sary in  preparing  the  corresponding  designs  and  drawings. 

Upon  completion  of  the  necessary  drawings  and  designs,  the  same  pro- 
cedure is  followed  as  in  applying  for  a  patent  on  an  article  which  is  already 
patented  in  the  United  States,  with  the  exception  of  obtaining  a  certified  copy 
of  the  corresponding  United  States  patent. 

The  Republic  of  Cuba  issues  patents  that  are  good  for  a  term  of  fifteen 
years,  and  cannot  be  renewed  or  extended  thereafter. 

The  government  fees  for  issuing  a  patent  amount  to  $35.00.  The  fees  of 
the  attorney  for  presenting  and  prosecuting  a  patent  application  vary,  the 
minimum  being  in  all  probability  about  $15.00. 

b)  TRADE    MARKS. 

In  considering  the  matter  of  Trade  Marks  in  Cuba,  as  well  as  other  Latin 
American  countries,  it  is  of  the  utmost  importance  to  bear  in  mind  that 
v/hereas,  in  the  United  States  the  property  right  in  a  trade  mark  can  only  be 
acquired  by  one  who  uses  same,  in  Latin  America  anyone  can  obtain  the 
property  right  in  a  trade  mark  by  simply  registering  it. 

This  fact  has  enabled  trade-mark  pirates  in  these  countries  to  register 
tj'ade  marks  of  foreign  origin,  and  exacting  from  the  originator  of  the  trade 

—  126  — 


mark  payment  for  the  permission  to  use  the  trade  mark  on  the  correspond i  11? 
jroods  sold  in  tliese  eonntries.  Tlie  rejjistration  of  a  trade  iiiafk  by  the 
orii^inator  of  sanif  in  Latin  American  countries  shonhl,  therefore,  be  effected 
at  the  earliest  possible  moment. 

In  most  of  the  Latin  American  eonntries  there  exists  a  distinction  between 
the  ordinary  trade  mark,  or  mannfaeturi'r's  mark  Cmarca  de  fahrica),  which 
serves  to  desiirnate  the  products  of  a  particular  factory  or  manufacturing 
concern;  and  the  dealer's  mark  (marca  eomercial),  which  serves  to  distinguish 
articles  handled  by  a  particular  dealer  or  commercial  entcrj)rise. 

The  application  for  a  trade  mark  must  show  the  name,  residence  and  oc- 
cui)ation  of  the  a{)plicant,  mark,  class  of  mai-k  (whether  of  commerce  or 
manufacture),  find  articles  to  l)e  marked;  fifteen  (15)  copies  of  the  mark 
should  be  submitted  ;  three  of  these  copies  should  have  the  description  written 
on  the  back.  Foreigners  nnist  accompany  their  application  by  a  certificate 
of  registration  of  the  mark  abroad,  and  by  a  power  of  attorney,  legalized  b}' 
a  Cuban  Consid.  One  mark  may  be  registered  for  several  articles,  but  for 
several  marks  or  variations  of  the  .same  mark  as  many  fees  nuist  be  paid.  A 
registered  trade  mark  is  recpiired  to  be  \ised  on  articles  of  gold  and  silver  and 
])harmaceutical  supplies,  and  all  fj-ade  marks  used  nuist  be  registered. 

The  life  of  a  trade  mark  in  ('ul)a  is  fifteen  years,  but,  unlike  a  patent,  it 
can  be  renewed. 

The  government  fee  for  registration  of  a  trade  mark  is  $12.50,  and  the 
same  fee  is  exacted  for  a  renewal.  The  fees  charged  by  attorneys  for  pre- 
senting and  prosecuting  an  application  for  a  trade  mark,  are  ordinarily  some- 
what lower  than  the  fees  for  prosecuting  a  patent  claim.

Steamship  Lines 

Operating  between  the  United  States 

and  Latin  America. 


^••o-*- 


_^;- _x  LTHOUGH  this  book  only  refers  to  the  Island  of  Cuba,  the  pub- 
lishers have  deemed  it  advisable  to  insert  a  complete  list  of  steam- 
ship lines  operating  between  this  country  and  Latin  America,  in- 
asmuch as  many  of  these  lines  touch  a  Cuban  port  and  then  pro- 


ceed to  Central  or  South  America. 

The  publishers  desire  to  call  attention  to  the  real  value  of  the  list,  as  it 
is  important  to  know  the  names  of  different  Steamship  Lines,  the  ports  of  de- 
parture, ports  of  destination,  and  the  intermediate  ports  they  touch,  address 
of  the  Agents  at  the  respective  ports,  and  to  have  a  general  idea  as  to  the  days 
of  sailing,  number  of  weekly  or  monthly  steamers ;  the  days  of  sailing  and  num- 
ber of  weekly  or  monthly  steamers,  are  subject  to  alteration.

List  o>/ Periodicals  in  Latin  America. 


"O-*- 


T  IS,  in  my  opinion,  unnecessary  for  me  to  dwell  to  any  great  ex- 
tent upon  the  importance  of  newspapers  as  one  of  the  best,  if 
not  the  best,  means  of  pushing  the  propaganda  which  is  the  back- 
bone of  a  successful  selling  campaign  of  most  articles,  especially 
such  as  are  not  to  be  classed  as  staple  merchandise,  pure  and  simple.  It  should 
be  evident  to  even  the  most  elementary  student  of  the  requirements  of  an  ex- 
port sales  campaign,  that  the  proper  choice  of  advertising  media  is  just  as 
important  as  the  make-up  of  the  advertisement  and  its  construction  with  re- 
gard to  the  special  characteristics,  needs  and  probable  buying  tendencies  of 
the  population  of  a  country  in  which  one  aims  to  expand  his  trade.  Too  much 
importance  cannot  be  placed  upon  the  rendering  of  an  advertisement  in  the 
language  of  a  country-  in  such  a  way  that  the  idiomatic  peculiarities  of  that 
language  should  be  employed  so  as  to  convey  your  message  in  plain,  every-day 
language,  instead  of  in  hig^lily  academic  and  studied  classic  language. 

Rates  charged  for  advertising  space,  circulation  of  a  newspaper,  and  all 
other  important  details  can  be  obtained  by  writing  to  the  publisher  of  same, 
or  the  publishers  of  this  book  are  in  a  position  to  furnish  a  good  deal  of  such 
information  and  will  cheerfully  do  so  upon  request. 

In  presenting  in  the  following  pages  a  list  of  periodicals  in  South  and 
Central  America  and  the  "West  Indies,  the  author  feels  that  he  fills  a  long-felt 
Avant. 

The  author  does  not  claim  that  this  list  is  complete,  exact  and  up-to-date 
in  every  respect,  for  due  to  the  scarcity  and  high  price  of  paper,  coupled  with 
economic  conditions  in  the  different  countries  for  the  last  two  years,  the  pub- 
lication of  periodicals  is  being  greatly  interfered  with,  so  that  some  of  the 
smaller  publications  appear  rather  irregularly  at  times,  and  others  are  sus- 
pending publication  altogether.  Until  this  unfortunate  situation  will  have 
disappeared,  it  is  next  to  impossible  to  publish  a  complete  list  of  South  and 
Central  American  newspapers  that  would  not  be  subject  to  considerable 
changes  within  a  short  time.  This  list,  however,  will  furnish  the  exporter  an 
idea  of  the  newspaper  situation  during  normal  times. 

In  many  places  the  circulation  of  the  newspaper  in  this  book  has  been 
altogether  omitted,  due  to  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  reliable  information,  and 

—  134  — 


to  thf  abiionnal  cliaiigos  in  the  fin-ulation  which  have  been  takinj;  phice  for 
the  last  two  years. 

^Vith  till,'  exception  of  lirazil  where  Portuguese  is  spokn,  the  puhlieations 
mentioned  in  this  list  are  Spanish,  unless  otherwise  speeilied.

Useful  Lists. 


Useful  Information. 


HIS  PART  of  the  present  work  is  devoted  to  various  lists  of  im- 
portance not  only  to  the  export  manager  in  his  office,  but  also  to 
representatives  in  the  Island  of  Cuba,  as  well  as  to  those  who 
travel  in  the  Island  for  business  or  for  pleasure.  Only  by  a 
careful  study,  and  by  actual  use,  can  the  importance  of  these  lists  be  ap- 
preciated, and  it  is  with  a  ^reat  deal  of  pride  that  we  submit  these  lists  in  the 
compilation  of  which  we  have  spared  neither  cost  nor  effort.  The  value  of 
these  lists  in  itself  should  amply  repay  the  possessor  of  this  book  for  the  Small 
price  of  the  whole  volume. 

The  lists  are  clnssified  by  provinces  as  well  as  by  cities  and  include 
alphabetical  lists  o^  post  and  telegraph  offices,  numbers  of  inhabitants  of  the 
more  important  cities  and  towns,  banks  and  bankers,  notaries  public  and 
lawyers,  hotels  and  restaurants,  customs  traders,  ship  consignees,  newspapers, 
drug  stores  and  druggists,  hospitals  and  physicians,  etc. 

In  this  connection  we  wish  to  state  that  the  i)ublishers  'of  this  series  of 
reference  books  are  splendidly  equipped  for  the  purpose  of  furnishing  other 
lists  of  a  similar  character,  in  the  Island  of  Cuba,  and  the  Latin-American 
countries,  and  are  willing  to  cheerfully  submit  any  of  the  foregoing  to  those 
interested.

Tables. 


Value  0/ Foreign  Coins  and  Currency. 


1  HE  folloAving  lists  and  the  figures  shown  therein  are  based  on  the 
standard  value  of  the  coins  and  currencies  of  different  countries, 
as  compared  with  United  States  money.  The  rate  of  exchange 
^-^^^^'--^  on  this  or  that  country  may  vary  from  the  standard  value,  de- 
pciuliiifi-  like  everything  else,  on  supply  and  demand,  the  credit  of  a  country, 
etc.  These  variations  may  be  very  considerable  at  times,  and  the  exporter, 
should,  in  order  to  play  safe,  quote  his  prices  in  his  own  money,  so  that  he 
will  not  run  the  risk  of  getting  much  less  for  his  goods  than  he  really  sold 
them  for.  There  is,  of  course,  a  certain  advantage  to  the  importer  in  having 
prices  in  his  own  money,  and  in  countries  with  good  credit  and  a  fairly  stabile 
rate  of  exchange,  it  will  often  be  found  best  by  the  American  exporter  to  quote 
prices  in  the  currency  of  that  country.  All  this,  however,  is  too  complicated 
to  treat  in  the  present  Avork,  and  we  merely  wish  to  state  that  such  matters, 
should  ahvays  first  l)e  taken  up  with  banking  houses  who  have  the  experience 
and  knowledge  necessary  to  decide  intelligently  in  such  cases,  in  order  to 
minimize  the  losses  resulting  from  fluctuations  in  the  rate  of  exchange.
